title: Efficient, frequency-stable laser-diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser.
abstract: We have designed and tested a laser-diode-pumped monolithic Nd:YAG oscillator. The electrical-to-optical slope efficiency was 6.5%. The frequency jitter was less than 10 kHz over a 0.3-sec period, the best frequency stability reported for a Nd:YAG laser to date.
