Diode-pumped 1.34-microm Nd(3+):YAlO(3) laser

We have pumped Nd(3+):YAlO(3) lasers with a 40-stripe, 500-mW, 807-nm diode laser. Maximum output powers at 1.34 microm of 26 mW multimode and 20 mW in a single transverse mode were achieved. The several longitudinal modes had a total spectral width of ~0.4 nm.
