In this design has been tried to achieve a maximum and optimum transfer and overlap efficiencies. The diode lasers optimum distance from laser rod center for a maximum absorption has been found 4.85 mm with LASCAD laser software. With scrutiny of different resonator lengths and in the different stability diagram points, the best slope efficiency in the Q-switched mode by producing high overlap efficiency and in the TEMoo mode is reported equal to 10.8%. %> http://opsi.ir/article-1-806-en.pdf %P 1595-1598 %& 1595 %! %9 Research %L A-10-1-786 %+ Malek-ashtar University of Technology %G eng %@ 1126-3278 %[ 2015
