An intracavity, frequency-doubled BaWO(4) Raman laser generating multi-watt continuous-wave, yellow emission.
We report the generation of multi-watt continuous-wave (CW) yellow laser emission from an intracavity diode-pumped Nd:GdVO(4) /BaWO(4) Raman laser utilising a high-Q resonator (for fundamental and first-Stokes wavelengths) and intracavity frequency-doubling in LBO. CW output power of 2.9 W is achieved with a high overall diode-to-yellow conversion efficiency of 11% and with good beam quality (M(2) approximately 2.5).
