Abstract
We discuss in this paper, the development of high gain end pumped lasers utilizing increased brightness diode array pump sources. We compare the characteristics of materials such as Nd: YAG, Nd: YLF and Nd: YV04 using these new diode pump sources and in particular demonstrate a factor of two increase in laser brightness.
