Abstract
We have demonstrated an optically pumped vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser (OP-VECSEL) generating more than of cw output power in a fundamental transverse mode at . The laser is highly efficient with a slope efficiency of 49%, a pump threshold of , and an overall optical-to-optical efficiency of 43%.
