Abstract
We report the demonstration of a transversally diode array pumped Nd:Yag laser using thirty 20 watts CW linear diode arrays. At a 9 kHz repetition rate the laser produces 58 watts average power at 532 nm when intracavity doubled with a KTP crystal, leading to a 3.2 % optical/electrical efficiency.
