Abstract
A Nd-doped Gd3Ga5O12(GGG) slab laser in normal pulsed operation at 1.06 µm is described. At the pulse repetition rate of 10 pps and pulse duration of 3 ms, the maximum output power was 230 W, and the slope efficiency was 2.4%. No remarkable decrease of slope efficiency was observed between 1 pps and 10 pps. The instability of the laser resonator is discussed with reference to the Mach-Zehnder interferograms under pumping.Keywords
