Abstract

An Ar-ion laser was used to pump a Nd:YLF laser, in both σ and π polarizations, in a longitudinal scheme. In spite of the small absorption coefficient at the pump (~0.25 cm −1), a careful laser design can circumvent this problem, and efficiencies as high as those attained with semiconductor pumping schemes are reported. The laser fundamental parameters were experimentally determined. A double-pass net gain as high as 103 was measured, and an output power of 1 W was obtained with a pumping power of 6 W.
