Effective noise reduction in a diode-pumped intracavity-doubled Nd:YVO(4) laser is achieved with a novel cavity design in which a birefringent filter is formed with off-axially cut Nd:YVO(4) and KTP. 20-mW green output with relative intensity noise of less than -120 dB/Hz was obtained under 290-mW pumping by a broad-area laser diode.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
