Monolithic Bragg-locked Nd:GdVO4 laser.
We present a monolithic single-longitudinal-mode laser based on Nd:GdVO(4) and a volume Bragg grating. The laser at 1066 nm had a bandwidth below 40 MHz at a power of 30 mW. With temperature, the laser frequency could be continuously tuned without mode hops over a range of 80 GHz. The demonstrated laser design is very compact and simple and can be used to lock the laser wavelength anywhere in the gain spectrum.
