Efficient, miniature, cw yellow source based on an intracavity frequency-doubled Nd:YVO₄ self-Raman laser

Opt Lett. 2011 Apr 15;36(8):1428-30. doi: 10.1364/OL.36.001428.

Abstract

We report cw yellow emission from a miniature self-Raman laser using highly doped Nd:YVO₄ crystals combined with intracavity frequency doubling. Pump-limited 587.8 nm output of 220 mW was obtained from an 18 mm long resonator, pumped by a 3.8 W diode laser.
