Abstract
We present an ABCD transfer matrix spatial mode analysis of a diode-side-pu mped Nd:YVO4 laser resonator. The stability of the resonator is analyzed in order to obtain the sets of positions for the optical elements that lead t o stable cavity configurations for the diode-side-pumped Nd:YVO4 laser reso nator. The mode spot size behavior of the oscillating Gaussian beam in the sagittal and tangential planes is used to determine the best configuration for the diode-side-pumped Nd:YVO4 laser resonator.
