Study of continuous-wave single-mode lasing efficiency in a longitudinally pumped YLF:Nd3+ laser
A. Yu. Abazadze AO Polyus Research Institute of M.F. Stelmakh, 117342, Moscow, Russia Abstract: We report a theoretical and experimental study of the effect of up-conversion on the efficiency of continuous-wave generation of the fundamental TEM00 mode in a YLF:Nd3+ laser longitudinally pumped by laser diode radiation. It is shown that up-conversion is not the… Read More »
