Diode pumped CW Nd:YAG laser operating at 938.5nm

Efficient operation of a Nd:YAG laser on the quasi-three-level transition at 938.5nm, end-pumped by a 20W diode bar is reported. For the maximum available incident power of 13.6W we have obtained a cw laser output at room temperature of 2.0W in a near diffraction limited TEMoo beam.
