摘要
A diode-pumped tunable single-frequency Nd:YVO4 laser has been built. The laser incorporates a LiNbO3 etalon (LE) as a coarse tuning element and a LiNbO3 crystal (LC) as a fine tuning element to obtain broadband, rapid tuning. More than 480 mW of output power has been obtained from the tunable laser with frequency tuning range of 17.2 GHz and the tuning response time of 10 ns.
