With 5.3-W pump power, by using a nearly hemispherical cavity (the cavity length is only 97 mm), the results of modulation depth of 70% and the period of 0.6 ns are obtained, the output power and the repetitive frequency of Q-switched pulse are 90 mW and 12 kHz, respectively.

Theoretical analysis of the effect of coating polarization on the second harmonic generation of an Nd:YVO4/KTP laser

Jones calculus is used to analyze the effect of the polarization characteristics of the output mirror coating of a V-shaped Nd:YVO4/KTP laser on the second harmonic generation. The reflection-induced phase retardance (RIPR) of the coating can quench the second harmonic generation. When the optical axis of Nd:YVO4 makes a π/4 angle with the incident plane of the output mirror and the fast axis of KTP in the incident plane, the RIPR induced reduction of coupling factor of the second harmonic generation is less than 1% if the phase retardance is smaller than 25°. If the polarization direction of the fundamental wave coincides with the eigen-polarization directions of the incident plane, the effect of the reflection-induced phase retardance on the conversing efficiency can be avoided.     

Second-Stokes YVO4/Nd:YVO4/YVO4 self-frequency Raman laser

We demonstrated an efficient second-Stokes Raman laser emission at 1313 nm based on self-frequency stimulated Raman scattering from a diode-end-pumped actively Q-switched YVO(4)/Nd:YVO(4)/YVO(4) laser at 1064 nm for the first time, to the authors' knowledge. A double-end diffusion-bonded Nd:YVO(4) composite crystal was adopted for sufficiently improving the thermal lensing effect in the course of self-frequency stimulated Raman scattering operation. With an incident pump power of 14.6 W and a pulse repetition (PRR) of 40 kHz, a maximum average output power of 2.34 W was obtained, corresponding to an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 16%. Pulse width and peak power were 1.2 ns and 49 kW, respectively.     

Highly efficient and compact laser-diode end-pumped Q-switched Nd:YVO4/KTP red laser

A laser-diode end-pumped acousto-optic (AO) Q-switched Nd:YVO₄/KTP red laser by using a plano-concave cavity was demonstrated for the first time. This linear cavity configuration could guarantee not only moderate intracavity focusing on KTP crystal but also good beam quality. Under the absorbed pump power of 14.8 W, the maximum average output power at 671 nm was obtained to be 1.37 W at the repetition frequency of 15 kHz, with the corresponding optical conversion efficiency of 9.3% and the pulse width of 33 ns. The energy of a single pulse and corresponding peak power are estimated to be 91.3 μJ and 2.77 kW, respectively. The rate equations are also numerically solved by introducing the nonlinear loss resulting from generation of second-harmonic wave.     

High-power diode-pumped nonlinear mirror mode-locked Nd:YVO4 laser with periodically-poled KTP

We demonstrate a high-power nonlinear mirror (NLM) mode-locked Nd:YVO₄ laser with a periodically poled KTP (PPKTP). With a 10-mm-long PPKTP crystal, 5.6 W of average power with 20-ps of pulse duration was generated at 18-W of pump power. Compared with conventional type-II KTP crystal with the same length, the stability against the Q-switched mode-locking (QML) is significantly increased with PPKTP in NLM laser; and the pulse duration was also considerably reduced.

Theoretical and experimental studies on the self-Q-switched and mode-locked Nd:GdVO<Subscript>4</Subscript>/KTP green laser

A diode-pumped self-Q-switched and mode-locked intracavity frequency doubled Nd:GdVO₄/KTP green laser is presented. The self mode-locking is self-starting and stable. About 100% modulation depth for the self-mode-locked green pulses has been achieved. We propose a developed rate equation model for self-Q-switched and mode-locked lasers, using the hyperbolic secant function methods and the theory of Kerr-lens mode-locking. This will consider the cascading of second-order nonlinearities of KTP crystal, the third-order nonlinearity of the laser medium, influences of the continuous pump rate, and the stimulated radiation lifetime of the active medium. With the model developed, theoretical calculations are shown to be in good agreement with experimental results. The width of the mode-locked green pulse is estimated to be about 120 ps.
