Cover Story: To beat the heat and inefficiency that limit microchip lasers, we bonded Nd:YAG/Cr4+:YAG and pumped it through a fiber splitter. At 4.02 mJ, 100 Hz, four linear beams emerge, each 0.964 mJ, giving 23.98% optical conversion. Energy shares: 22.61%, 24.46%, 25.50%, and 27.43%; pulse widths: 2.18–2.21 ns. The far field evolves from one circle to four spots; the lower-right beam yields Mx2 = 1.181 and My2 = 1.289. Simulations at 293 K show that split pumping cuts Nd:YAG volume ΔT by 28.8%, peak ΔT by 66%, and swing by 78%. Compact, low-cost, and high-damage, it suits car ignition, LiDAR, and LIBS. View this paper
