High power diode-bar-pumped intracavity-frequency-doubled Nd:YLF ring laser

We report efficient cw operation of an intracavity-frequency-doubled Nd:YLF ring laser end-pumped by two beam-shaped 20W diode bars. A single-frequency, polarised output of 6.2W at 526.5nm (8.3W generated in the doubling crystal), was obtained in a TEMoo mode (M<sup>2</sup> < 1.2)
