High-power high-efficiency cw Nd:glass laser

Abstract

Nd:glass lasers have traditionally been limited to relatively low average powers1 by the poor thermal conductivity of glass which results in thermally induced lensing, birefringence or physical damage.2 Previously, we demonstrated the operation of the first rotating disk Nd:glass laser3 designed to alleviate thermal problems caused by the pump source; here we report improvements in the performance of this laser.
