Abstract
A high power diode stack end-pumped electro-optically Q-switched Nd:YLF slab laser with a stable and off-axis negative-branch confocal unstable hybrid resonator was demonstrated. By using a cylindrical lens in the stable direction the thermal lens effect was compensated. Pulse energy of 25Â mJ was obtained with a pulse width of 22.4Â ns at repetition rates of 500Â Hz and a conversion efficiency of 22%. The stability was better than 0.8% and the beam propagation M2 factor was about 1.2.
