A 49.5 W Nd:YVO4 laser using the disc-anvil configuration

By using a thin disc in clamped boundary conditions, output powers of 49.5 W (M2 =6.6) or 31 W of TEM00 have been attained using Nd:YVO4 with 110 W of incident pump power. This concept should enable scaling output powers to the 100 W TEM00 level in a simple design.
