Compact diode-pumped Nd:YVO4 slab ns-amplifier

In this paper, we reported what we believed to be potential improved performance for a Nd:YVO4 discrete path Innoslab amplifier configuration based on a plane-plane resonator system. A 95W, 30KHz laser output was obtained with the Innoslab amplifier. The corresponding optical to optical efficiency was 28.8%. The beam quality factors of M² were 1.54 in the horizontal direction and 1.43 in the vertical direction, respectively.
