摘要：

We describe the performance of diode bar pumped Nd:YAG and Nd:YLF lasers in a novel tightly folded resonator configuration. For Nd:YLF at a pump level of 9.2 W we observe a TEM00 output power of 3.1 W with a slope efficiency of 47%. In q-switched operation we obtain a pulse energy of 0.7 mJ and a pulsewidth of 5 ns. The same resonator design configured to operate as an optical amplifier provides small-signal gain of 28 dB and average output powers of greater than 1 W.
