Abstract(in English) A novel laser architecture of diode pumped eight pass Nd: YAG zig-zag slab amplifier was developed aiming to achieve high energy extraction efficiency and good beam quality. Energy extraction efficiency of upto 71% for the laser mode volume has been achieved in this amplifier operating at an initial small signal gain of 3.25. The compensation of thermal birefringence was successfully achieved by means of 90 degree quartz rotator in this amplifier.
