Abstract
Laser emission at 1.06 mu m, pump light absorption, laser threshold, s lope efficiency, and alignment tolerance as a function of the fiber le ngth have been measured for a cladding-pumped double-clad Nd:glass fib er laser. The fiber laser was pumped with a laser diode emitting at 81 0 nm, It produced an output power of 15.9 mW at an absorbed pump power of 55.1 mW. This corresponds to an optical-optical conversion efficie ncy of 28.8%.
