Abstract
We demonstrate a 7.8 W high beam quality continuous-wave output of a double -pass Nd:YVO4 slab amplifier with a photorefractive ring phase conjugate mi rror. Optical extraction efficiency of 33% was obtained. Build-up time of t he output of the amplifier was 10 s. Standard variance of the output power fluctuation was 2.6%. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
