Abstract
A high-power continuous-wave (CW) all-solid-state Nd:GdVO4 laser operating at 1.34 μm is reported here. The laser consists of a low doped level Nd:GdVO4 crystal double-end-pumped by two high-power fiber-coupled diode lasers and a simple plane-parallel cavity. At an incident pump power of 88.8 W, a maximum CW output of 26.3 W at 1.34 μm is obtained with a slope efficiency of 33.7%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest output at 1.34 μm ever generated by diode-end-pumped all-solid-state lasers.
