Single-Frequency Nd:YVO4 Green Laser Using Two Brewster Plate

Article Preview

Abstract:

A pulse laser-diode-array (LDA)-pumped, intracavity frequency-doubled Nd: YVO4 laser has been demonstrated. An birefringent filter consisting of a KTP crystal and two Brewster plates(BP) has been used in the system to realize single-frequency output. Up to 72.4 mW average output power is obtained for 800 mW pumping power with an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 9.1%. The maximum peak power of the single-frequency green laser is 22.3 W with the pulse width 162μs.
