Abstract: | CW laser emission on the quasi 3-level (4F3/2→4I9/2) transition in Nd:GGG is reported for different pump focusing and resonator dimensions. A nearly hemispherical plano-concave
resonator led at 937.3 nm to a maximum output power of 4.1 W for an incident pump power of 21.7 W, thus corresponding to a
slope efficiency of about 23.5%. Laser operation was also obtained for the first time around 933.6 nm by using a glass etalon
for frequency selection with a maximum output power of 2.3 W and a slope efficiency of 16% with respect to the incident pump
power. Dual-wavelength operation (around 933.6 and 937.3 nm), which offers a potential source to generate THz radiation, is
also reported. |
