Abstract
First results on a diode-pumped multikilowatt-class solid-state heat-capacity laser (SSHCL) are reported. The laser achieves an output power of and output energies in excess of . A moderate crystal temperature increase due to crystal heating of is measured at of pump power and the temperature-related power drop is determined to . The presented work is believed to be the first multi-kilowatt-class resonantly diode-pumped laser.
