transition and the 4 F 3/2→ 4 I 11/2 transition at 1.06 µm is obtained in Nd-based laser
crystals of thin-disk geometry and using a multi-pass pumping scheme. A Nd: Y 3 Al 5 O 12
(Nd: YAG) thin disk emitted simultaneous laser radiation at 946 and 1064 nm with 5.1 W
output power, and Nd: YVO 4 and Nd: GdVO 4 thin-disk lasers with more than 3 W output
power at 0.91 and 1.06 µm were realized. The ratio between the output power at one of the …
