A diode-pumped continuous-wave Nd:YAG laser with two linear and mutually orthogonal polarized components of radiation at a wavelength 0.532 µm is studied theoretically and experimentally. The cavity configuration for the realization of generation in this region is suggested. Stable lasing with two mutually orthogonal polarized components is implemented within the range of the intercomponent separation practically from zero to approximately 10 GHz.

Abstract:The method allowing to detect in real time the laser radiation reflected from metal in course of its processing by powerful fiber ytterbium lasers is proposed. It is shown that there is a correspondence between the behavior of a reflected back signal and the oscillatory processes in a liquid bath of the fused metal.
