In this paper, a single-frequency quasi-continuous-wave partially pumped slab (Innoslab) amplifier at 1064 nm is reported. The 4.4-W single-frequency seed laser was amplified to 148.1 W with optical-optical efficiency of 30.4%. The output pulse duration was 141.4 μs at the repetition of 500 Hz. The beam quality factors of M2 were 1.41 and 1.37 in the horizontal and vertical direction respectively. The experimental results match well with the numerical simulation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on single-frequency Nd:YAG Innoslab amplifier with such a high output power and efficiency.
