Abstract
We demonstrate laser oscillation at with more than 16 W of output power and with an optical-to-optical slope efficiency of up to 74% using a 10% doped ceramic made by hot pressing. This represents the highest output power and efficiency obtained for a doped ceramic and demonstrates the feasibility for power scaling.
