Near-infrared lasers and self-frequency-doubling in Nd:YCOB cladding waveguides

Opt Express. 2013 May 6;21(9):11562-7. doi: 10.1364/OE.21.011562.

Abstract

A design of cladding waveguides in Nd:YCOB nonlinear crystals is demonstrated in this work. Compact Fabry-Perot oscillation cavities are employed for waveguide laser generation at 1062 nm and self-frequency-doubling at 531 nm, under optical pump at 810 nm. The waveguide laser shows slope efficiency as high as 55% at 1062 nm. The SFD green waveguide laser emits at 531 nm with a maximum power of 100 μW.
