Continuous wave diode pumped intracavity doubled Nd : GdVO sub(4) laser with 840 mW output power at 456 nm

We present a diode pumped Nd : GdVO sub(4) ground-state laser at 912 nm with a maximum cw output power of nearly 2.1 W at 16.7 W pump power. The slope efficiency was 16% with respect to the incident power. Also intracavity second harmonic generation (SHG) with an LBO crystal into the blue spectral r...

Description
Summary:We present a diode pumped Nd : GdVO sub(4) ground-state laser at 912 nm with a maximum cw output power of nearly 2.1 W at 16.7 W pump power. The slope efficiency was 16% with respect to the incident power. Also intracavity second harmonic generation (SHG) with an LBO crystal into the blue spectral range at 456 nm was achieved with a maximum output power of 840 mW. In addition the spectral data of Nd : GdVO sub(4) are presented and compared with those of Nd : YVO sub(4) and Nd:YAG. copyright 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
