An all-solid-state blue laser-pumped Pr:BaY 2 F 5 (Pr:BYF) laser at 607 nm has been demonstrated. With an incident 447 nm pump power of 1.04 W, the maximum orange output power was 337 mW. Moreover, intracavity second-harmonic generation (SHG) has also been achieved with a maximum UV power of 76 mW by using a β-BaB 2 O 4 (BBO) nonlinear crystal. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on continuous-wave (cw) UV generation by an intracavity frequency doubling Pr:BYF laser.
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.
