Abstract
We report what to our knowledge is the highest output pulse energy to date, similar to 50 mJ/pulse at 15-Hz pulse repetition frequency (PRF) , for a diode-pumped Yb:YAG laser. At 60-Hz PRF the 1.03-mu m output b eam quality was several times diffraction limited. (C) 1995 Optical So ciety of America
