Diode-pumped VS. Diode Lasers
DPSS and diode lasers are two of the most common types of solid-state lasers. However, both types have their advantages and disadvantages.
DPSS lasers generally have a higher beam quality and can reach very high powers while maintaining a relatively good beam quality. Because the crystal pumped by the diode acts as its own laser, the quality of the output beam is independent of that of the input beam. In comparison, diode lasers can only reach a few hundred milliwatts unless they operate in multiple transverse mode. Such multi-mode lasers have a larger beam diameter and a greater divergence, which makes them less desirable**
