Modeling of Performance of Diode-Pumped Nd:YVO4 Laser Systems

This thesis focuses on numerical study of a longitudinally pumped continuous wave (CW) Nd:YVO4 laser by high power VCSEL modules. Two VCSEL pump modules (6 W and 15 W) were compared. The performance of Nd:YVO4 crystal was found to be better than that of Nd:YAG crystal. Our numerical results indicate...
