370 mW, 1.06 μm, CW TEM00 output from an Nd:YAG laser rod end-pumped by a monolithic diode array

Abstract
We report 370 mW CW output at 1.06 μm in the TEM∞ mode with 9.1% electrical to optical (wall-plug) conversion efficiency from an Nd:YAG laser rod end-pumped by a monolithic 100 μm-wide diode laser array.
