Abstract

We report an 885 nm laser diode (LD) end-pumped high beam quality (M 2 x = 1.322, M 2 y = 1.235) electro-optical Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with TEM00-mode output for the first time. At the absorbed pump power of 59.5 W, a 22.7 W 1064 nm laser was achieved at 10 kHz repetition rate with optical-to-optical efficiency of 38.1%. The maximum pulse energy and shortest pulse width were 5.1 mJ and 14.5 ns at 2 kHz repetition rate, and the calculated peak power was 352 kW.
