Introduction
reduction of thermal effects is one of the main assignments also by diode pumped laser systems first intention for high power laser design must be the reduction of heat generation prevent thermal load before compensation is necessary one possibility is an efficient pumping scheme minimize Stokes factor loss maximize quantum efficiency direct pumping to the upper lasing level

Experiments
fluorescence experiments with a Ti:Sa source shows identically fluorescence spectrum from Nd:YAG at diverent pump wavelength the first laser experiments shows maximum laser power at pumping with 885 nm

conclusion
0.885 m is a real alternative to traditional 0.808 m pumping a heating reduction of nearly 40% can be achieved laser diodes at 0.885 m are available high doped laser crystals to compensate the lower absorption are available
