1-kHz nanosecond DPSS conductive cooling Nd:YAG laser for femtosecond pulses amplification

A nanosecond diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser with pulse repetition rate up to 1 kHz without liquid cooling of the of the active media has been demonstrated. The laser provided the following parameters: pulse width 8 ns (FWHM), pulse energy 10 mJ at 1064 nm and up to 4 mJ at 532 nm.
