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%.
