Abstract

We demonstrate a diode-side-pumped TEM00 mode Nd:YAG laser with plane-convex resonator. The design of plane-convex resonator increases the loss of higher-order mode and the volume of fundamental mode, so the efficient mode match between the pump light and the oscillating light and good beam quality is obtained. The continuous wave output power of 13W is generated with M²_x=1.33 and M²_y=1.31. The 9W average output power of acousto-optically Q-switched laser with M²_x=1.29 and M²_y=1.27 is also achieved. When the Q-switching repetition rate is 10kHz, pulse width is 240ns with peak power of 3.8kW.
