Red (640 nm) and green (522 nm) lasers with Pr3+:YLF pumped by a blue laser diode emitting at about 444 nm in the longitudinal direction are reported. On the basis of the beam reshaping of the pump spot by a prism, the maximum output power, absorbed threshold pump power and slope efficiency of the red laser are 308.5 mW, 46 mW and 47.5%, respectively. The three corresponding parameter values for green laser are 193.4 mW, 162.3 mW and 37.1%, respectively. The results show that the shaped pump beam is beneficial to improve the output characteristics of these two visible laser emissions.
