Abstract
Nd:Sr-5(PO4)(3)F, known as Nd:S-FAP, is a new material for efficient a nd miniature diode-laser pumped solid-state lasers. By using a laser-d iode pump operating at 805.4 nm, Nd:S-FAP has been successfully lased at 1.328 mu m. A slope efficiency of 33.5% and a laser threshold of 18 .5 mW have been measured. The theoretical formulas for threshold power and slope efficiency were given and the theoretical estimation agreed with the experimental result. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
