Efficient generation of orange light in a quasi-periodically poled LiTaO3 crystal

We present an approach to generating a tunable orange laser from 0.601 to 0.604 μm based on a quasi-periodically poled superlattice in LiTaO 3 and a Q-switched 1.064 μm Nd:YVO 4 laser as pump. The orange laser was generated in a cavity by a parametric process cascaded by a frequency mixing with a ma...

Description
Summary:We present an approach to generating a tunable orange laser from 0.601 to 0.604 μm based on a quasi-periodically poled superlattice in LiTaO 3 and a Q-switched 1.064 μm Nd:YVO 4 laser as pump. The orange laser was generated in a cavity by a parametric process cascaded by a frequency mixing with a maximum output of 310 mW using 15 W pump power.
