Compact KTA-Based Optical Parametric Oscillator Driven by a Passively Q-Switched YVO4/Nd:YVO4 Laser

Article Preview

Abstract:

A compact passively Q-switched YVO4/Nd:YVO4/KTA intracavity optical parametric oscillator (OPO) is realized. With an end-pumping diode power of 16.6 W, output signal power of 932 mW and idler power of 415 mW are obtained at a pulse repetition rate of 101 kHz. The pulse widths and the beam quality factors are also analyzed for both signal and idler lasers.
