متن کامل589 nm Light Source Based on Raman Fiber Laser
Harmonic generation using nonlinear optical crystals is currently the most efficient approach of obtaining visible and ultraviolet lasers. Diode-pumped Nd-doped solid-state lasers can operate in the blue, green, and red spectral regions by intracavity frequency doubling. However, there are few solid-state laser sources that can efficiently produce laser emission in a region covering 550 to 650 ...
متن کاملTheoretical Study of Diode Pumped Intracavity Doubled Passively Q-Switched Solid-State Lasers
In recent years, great attention has been paid to high peak power all-solid-state pulsed blue-green lasers [1–4] for some applications such as spectroscopy, display, optical data storage, coherent telecommunications, remote sensing, medicine, etc. Such lasers are generally realized by intracavity or external cavity frequency doubling of cw laser-diode (LD)-pumped solid-state Q-switched Nd-doped...
متن کامل2.1-watts intracavity-frequency-doubled all-solid-state light source at 671 nm for laser cooling of lithium.
We present an all-solid-state laser source emitting up to 2.1 W of single-frequency light at 671 nm developed for laser cooling of lithium atoms. It is based on a diode-pumped, neodymium-doped orthovanadate (Nd:YVO(4)) ring laser operating at 1342 nm. Optimization of the thermal management in the gain medium results in a maximum multi-frequency output power of 2.5 W at the fundamental wavelengt...
