Abstract

Detailed spectroscopic characterisation of the 4I9/24F3/2 absorption cross section of Nd:YAG at temperatures ranging from room temperature to liquid nitrogen temperature is reported. Exploiting this in-band pumping scheme, a novel volume-Bragg-grating-locked diode-laser array (DLA) operating at 869 nm was developed to end-pump a cryogenically cooled Nd:YAG crystal. As a result, the first 60-W cryogenically-cooled Nd:YAG laser operating at 946 nm is demonstrated with a slope, and optical-to-optical, efficiency of 52 %.
