Abstract
Laser oscillation at a wavelength of was obtained in an crystal end pumped by a diode laser. Under the absorbed pump power of , quasi-continuous-wave output powers of with slope efficiency of 13% and with slope efficiency of 11% were achieved in hemispherical and plano–plano cavities, respectively. The laser spectra were recorded for both cavities. The influence of the thermal load in the crystal on the laser oscillation was analyzed.
