Abstrakt: The power and spatial characteristics of a longitudinally diode-pumped laser based on a composite YVO4/Nd:YVO4crystal are studied. It is shown that the use of a composite crystal allows one to increase the external slope quantum efficiency from 36% to 41% and decrease the quality factor M2of the output beam from 2 to 1.5 compared to these parameters for a Nd:YVO4crystal.
