Abstract
A beam-shaping diode end-pumped TEM00 mode CW Nd:YVO4 laser is presented. A special beam-shaping element made up of isosceles right-angled prism pieces is adopted to realize beam symmetric. Two cylinder lenses are used to couple the shaped beam into a 3 × 3 × 9 mm Nd:YVO4 crystal with 0.3 at % neodymium doping. By using this laser system, we have achieved 6.1 W CW laser operated in single transverse mode at 1064 nm with 95.2% reshaping efficiency and 25.6% optical-optical conversion efficiency.
