摘要：
A high-power continuous-wave (CW) diode-end-pumped intracavity-frequency-doubled red laser is reported here. The laser consists of a 0.3 at.% Nd:GdVO4 crystal as laser gain medium, a type II non-critical phase-matched (NCPM) LBO crystal or a type I critical phase-matched (CPM) LBO crystal as frequency-doubler, and a three-mirror-folded cavity. At incident pump power of about 41 W, maximum output powers of 3.8 W and 3 W at 671 nm are obtained with corresponding optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 9.3% and 7.5%, respectively. During half an hour, the instability of the red beam is less than 3% at output of 3 W. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
