High-efficiency TEM(00) Nd:YVO(4) laser longitudinally pumped by a high-power array.

A new simple, compact, and efficient optical device is presented that allows any commercially available arrays or stacks to longitudinally pump laser materials. A Nd:YVO(4) laser was built and an optical-optical efficiency as great as 50% was demonstrated with a diffraction-limited beam.
