5.3 W deep-blue light generation by intra-cavity frequency doubling of Nd:GdVO4

Diode-laser-pumped high efficiency continuous-wave operation at 912 nm laser in Nd:GdVO4crystal

“…By frequency converter technology, 456 nm deep blue laser also has been reported that output power of 5.3 W in cw operation by F. Jia et al in 2006 [16] and peak power of 315 W at 10 kHz with pulse duration of 140 ns by J. Gao et al in 2008 [17].…”

Efficient generation of 914 nm laser with high beam quality in Nd:YVO4crystal pumped byπ-polarized 808 nm diode-laser

“…There exist numerous applications for all-solid-state blue laser sources such as in high-density optical data storage, biological and medical diagnostics, color displays, underwater imaging and communication [2,3]. LD pumped solid-state quasi-three-level Nd 3+ laser has been proved to be an efficient way to achieve this goal [4][5][6][7].…”

Diode-pumped Nd:LGS/LBO laser at 452 nm

“…The high power 0.9 μm lasers can be used in many applications, such as water vapor lidars and dif ferential absorption lidars for ozone measurements, and also can be used as pump source for Yb doped crystals and Yb doped fibers. The corresponding fre quency doubled blue lasers [26][27][28][29][30][31][32] were also in mod erate progress. This transition is usually used to design lasers in vanadate crystals or at 946 nm in Nd:YAG crystal [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42].…”
