A 532 nm single-frequency laser generated from a V-type oscillator configuration with a wedged Nd:YVO4 crystal and a KTP crystal is reported. An a-cut, 2.at% Nd:YVO4 crystal with a wedge angle of 10° and a KTP nonlinear crystal composes a novel birefringent filter. By adjusting the incident angle of the fundamental mode in the KTP, the laser can change from single-mode operation to two-mode oscillation. The maximum single-frequency output power of lasers with a 5 mm long KTP and a 7 mm long KTP are 284 and 148 mW, respectively, at pump powers of 2 and 1.1 W. The corresponding optical-to-optical conversion efficiencies are 14.2% and 13.5%. For the laser configuration with a 5 mm long KTP, the single-frequency operation at a pump power of 2 W is maintained within the temperature range of 18 °C to 24 °C, and the measured wavelength drift rate with the temperature is approximately 0.071 nm °C−1.
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.
