Paper Abstract
We describe the performance of a Nd:YAG laser which produces 4.1 mJ, 12 ns FWHM Q- switched pulses when side-pumped with 180 W, 250 microsecond(s) pulses from a stacked AlGaAs laser diode array (SDL-3230 TZB). We have studied the effects of varying gain and cavity length on the Nd:YAG laser performance. We have found that the properties of diode lasers require design compromises different than for lamp-pumped lasers.
