Efficient, diode temperature insensitive Nd:YAG hybrid longitudinal/transversal-pumped zig-zag slab laser: delta concept

A diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser has been developed with a novel hybrid longitudinal/transversal-pumped zig-zag slab architecture. This novel architecture enables to pump with multipass through the active medium. The laser provides output pulse energy of 140 ml.
