Abstract

A Nd:YVO4 crystal was pumped directly into the emitting level by a laser diode at 914 nm. We achieved an output power of 1.46 W at 1342 nm for an incident pump power of 18.3 W, corresponding to an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 8.0%. The fluctuation of the output power was better than 2.3% in the given 30 min. The beam quality M2 factor value was equal to 1.15 at the maximum output power.
