Abstract

The effective focal lengths of thermal lens in diode-end-pumped continuous-wave Nd:YVO₄ lasers for the ⁴F _3/2→⁴I_11/2 and ⁴F _3/2→⁴I_13/2 transitions were determined. The experimental results revealed that the thermal lensing effect for the ⁴F_3/2→⁴I_11/2 transition can be sufficiently improved by employing a single-end diffusion-bonded Nd:YVO ₄ crystal replacing a conventional Nd:YVO₄ crystal. However, using a double-end diffusion-bonded Nd:YVO₄ crystal was a great improvement over a single-end diffusion-bonded Nd:YVO₄ crystal for the ⁴F_3/2→⁴I_13/2 transition with stronger thermal lensing effect.
