TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a power and brightness scaling strategy for diode-end-pumped, master-oscillator-power-amplifier laser systems, based on Nd:YVO.
Abstract: This thesis presents a strategy for power and brightness scaling in diode-end-pumped, master-oscillator-power-amplifier laser systems, based on Nd:YVOIssues relating to further power and brightness scaling are discussed as well as the potential applications of these laser sources as pump sources for frequency conversion in optical parametric devices.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the gain and refractive index combination guiding by simulating a dual-end pumped rod Nd:YVO 4 -amplifier and found that the large transverse gain gradient and the gain coefficient contribute to the gain guiding to enhance beam quality.
Abstract: The gain and refractive index combination guiding is investigated by simulating a dual-end pumped rod Nd:YVO 4
amplifier. From the simulation, it is indicated that the large transverse gain gradient and the gain coefficient are
contribute to the gain guiding to enhance the beam quality. The appropriate spherical aberration in the input beam is
helpful for improving the beam quality of output beam. Moreover, the gain saturation determines which one could
dramatically influence beam quality between the gain guiding and the refractive index guiding.
