An efficient cw diode-pumped Nd:YVO/sub 4/ laser with reciprocal self-organizing dynamic holographic cavity

A diode-pumped Nd:YVO/sub 4/ laser with a reciprocal self-intersecting loop cavity completed by dynamic grating induced by the generating beams was realized. Continuous-wave, high-quality beam generation (M/sup 2//spl ap/1) with 10 W power and 32% optical efficiency was obtained.
