abstract = "Laser performances around 1.3 μm are investigated in 879 nm laser diode (LD) end pumped Nd3+ doped mixed crystals with Nd:Gd0.69Y0.3TaO4 and Nd:Gd0.68Y0.3NbO4 crystals for the first time to our best knowledge. The maximum average power in LD end pumped Nd:Gd0.69Y0.3TaO4 1328 nm laser reaches 435 mW at 50 Hz with an optical-to-optical efficiency of 5.0% and a slope efficiency of 6.9%. In comparison, the highest average power of LD end pumped Nd:Gd0.68Y0.3NbO4 laser at 1337 nm is 190 mW at 50 Hz, corresponding to an optical-to-optical efficiency of 3.5% and a slope efficiency of 4.2%.",
