Abstract
A CW NYAB laser at 1.06 mu m end-pumped by a high-power diode-laser-array h
as been demonstrated. At the incident pump power of 11 W, a maximum output
power of 3.2 W was achieved, resulting in an optical conversion efficiency
of 29.1%, and average slope efficiency of 37.5%. The output beam quality fa
ctor was measured to be M-2 = 1.9. The internal losses caused by the NYAB c
rystal were measured to be 0.035 cm(-1). The NYAB crystal was also found to
exhibit very strong thermal lensing under high-power end-pumped conditions
