In this thesis a theoretical background of Nd:YAG lasers has been
presented and key parameters of a design have been stated. Both
pulsed mode and CW mode designs have been made / a 500mJ
xenon flash lamp has been investigated as the pulsed light source
and a 500W tungsten halogen lamp has been used as the continuous
light source for optical pumping. Closed cooling system has been
constructed. De-ionized water has been used as coolant. The goal
has been acomplished by constructing a CW mode prototype. The
output power has been calculated. Dependence of output power to
the reflectivity of output coupler is simulated and optimum
reflectivity is calculated. Theoretical emission bands of Nd:YAG have
been observed experimentally.
