Abstract
Using a space-dependent rate-equation model and considering the effect of pump beam quality, the optimum pump condition far a fiber-coupled diode end-pumped neodymium yttrium aluminum berate laser has been dete rmined. Under optimum pump conditions, greater than 10% optical-to-opt ical conversion efficiency was obtained when the laser was pumped by a fiber-coupled laser diode with goad beam quality. The influence of pu mp beam quality on the conversion efficiency is also discussed. (C) 19 98 Optical Society of America.
