Abstract  A simple method for boosting the beam quality of a commercial laser diode pumped laser (DPL) is put forward. By keeping one of the mirrors unchanged and the moving the other mirror a proper distance away from the laser rod, high beam quality laser output is realized.
Keywords:  solid state laser      beam quality      $M^{2}$ factor
