Continuous-wave and passively Q -switched cladding-pumped planar waveguide lasers

Greater than 12W of average output power has been generated from a diode-pumped YbYAG cladding-pumped planar waveguide laser. The laser radiation developed is linearly polarized and diffraction limited in the guiding dimension. A slope efficiency of 0.5WW with a peak optical optical conversion effic...
