Abstract
The quartz rotator's effective birefringence compensation for ceramic Nd:YAG rods has been first demonstrated. Furthermore, a high output power continuous-wave laser is presented based on an optimized resonator made up of four Nd:YAG ceramic rods. By an appropriate design of the resonator, an output power of 108 W at 1064 nm is obtained. The corresponding optical-to-optical conversion efficiency is 16.8% and the slope efficiency is 28.1%. Meanwhile, the numerical analysis for output power is detailed.
