  • Published Date: January 31, 2007
  • We report an efficient diode-pumped Nd-doped Gadolinium gallium garnet
    (GGG) continuous-wave (CW) laser operating at 938nm. Laser action of
    1.6at.% Nd-doped GGG crystals with different lengths and temperatures
    are also investigated. The maximum output power of 620mW is obtained
    at the incident pump power of 5.0W with a slope efficiency of 15%.
