Abstract
A diode stack end-pumped slab laser at with near-diffraction-limited beam quality by using a hybrid resonator was presented. At a pump power of , laser power of was obtained with a conversion efficiency of 25.4% of the laser diode to laser output. The beam quality factors were measured to be 1.2 in the unstable direction and 1.3 in the stable direction at the output power of .
