Abstract

A systematic investigation of a series of Nd:YVO/sub 4/ crystals with different dopant concentrations is conducted to scale the performance of diode-end-pumped lasers to higher powers. From the theoretical analysis, the fracture-limited pump power is expressed as a function of the thermal shock para...
