Highly Efficient 68-W Green-Beam Generation by Use of an Intracavity Frequency-Doubled Diode Side-Pumped Q-Switched Nd:YAG Rod Laser.
An intracavity frequency-doubled diode side-pumped Nd:YAG laser was developed by use of an advanced cavity configuration and a diffusive close-coupled side-pumping design. A maximum green power of 68 W was generated at a 20-kHz repetition rate with 18.4% optical-to-optical conversion efficiency and 7.1% electrical-to-optical conversion efficiency.
