Abstract
Efficient diode stack end-pumped slab lasers with a hybrid cavity were demonstrated. About 60 W of near-diffraction-limited output was obtained with Nd:YVO4 slab crystals. The lower doped Nd:YVO4 crystal shows the possibility of further power scaling with near-diffraction-limited output but it also increases the sensitivity of the wavelength to the temperature of the cooling water.
