asymmetric output mode and depolarisation of the output. As shown in Fig. 2c, the thermal lens can be compensated for by using a flat HR mirror, but the birefringence effects in the output mode are still present. However, the output energy and beam quality are almost the same as in Fig. 2a. Additional examples for a number of resonators and for different pulse rates will be given in the presentation. 1.

Recently, interest in diode laser-pumped solid-state lasers has increased due to their advantages over flashlamp-pumped solid-state lasers. A historical overview is presented of semiconductor diode-pumped solid-state lasers beginning with work in the early 1960s and continuing through recent work on wavelength extension of these devices by laser operation on new transitions. Modeling of these devices by rate equations to obtain expressions for threshold, slope efficiency, and figures of merit is also given. >
