Abstract

This work presents the parameter comparison of diode pumped solid state lasers worked in longitudinally pump configuration in cw operation. We built three monolithic lasers based on neodymium doped crystals (Nd:YAG, Nd:KGW and Nd:BLGO). They appeared to have quite good power stability and high quality quasi-TEM₀₀ mode beams.
