Abstract

The continuous-wave (cw) laser properties of an efficient diode-pumped Nd:GdVO₄ crystal operating at 1.06 μm formed with a simple flat-flat cavity have been studied. With the incident pump power of 25 W, an output power of 15.6 W was obtained, with the optical conversion efficiency of 62.4% and the maximum slop efficiency of 71.3%.
