Abstract

Efficient lasing of Nd:Ca (Nb, Ga)2–x Ga3–garnet (CNGG) disordered crystal pumped by a laser diode was demonstrated. In the end-pumped cw lasing experiment with a single-stripe diode, a slope efficiency of 24.2% and a maximum optical conversion efficiency of 19.3% were obtained. It was shown that the dependence of cw output power on the pump wavelength is insensitive compared with Nd:YAG because of the broad pump absorption bandwidth of Nd:CNGG. From the diode-bar-pumped experiment, it was confirmed that Nd:CNGG is a promising material for diode-bar pumping to obtain high average power with good beam quality, because of its advantages of a broader pump absorption band compared with that of Nd:YAG and the higher thermal conductivity compared with Nd-doped glasses.
