Abstract

For the first time Nd³⁺:KGd(WO₄)₂ and Nd³⁺:NaLa(MoO₄)₂ crystals was investigated as active media of powerful lasers. The efficiency and the promising of its use in this quality are shown. Dynamics of generation of such lasers was studied in offered us the optical scheme of a resonator and pumping cavity. A good degree of a homogeneity of cross distribution energies in a beam and angular divergence closed to diffraction limit of a radiation with energy up to 60 J were obtained.
