High-power LD end-pumped intra-cavity Nd:YAlO3/KTiOAsO4 optical parametric oscillator emitting at 1562 nm

Abstract: A high power eye-safe optical parametric oscillator driven by the LD end-pumped Nd:YAlO3 laser was demonstrated based on a non-critically phase-matched KTiOAsO 4 crystal. The mode mismatch compensating resonator was adopted for efficient OPO conversion. The maximum output power of 2.3 W at 1562 nm was achieved at the pulse repetition frequency of 20 kHz. The conversion efficiency between the fundamental light and the signal light was up to 62%, which was much higher than other relative reports.

“…Although the physical properties for the two laser materials are quite similar, the orthorhombic lattice structure of the crystalline host makes the Nd:YAP crystal exhibit the natural birefringence, which is essentially advantageous in avoiding the undesirable impacts caused by the thermally induced birefringence. As a consequence, the Nd:YAP crystal is regarded as one of the competitive candidates for developing a high-power solid-state laser with the constantly polarized output [4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

“…Transitions from energy level 4 F 3/2 to 4 I 9/2 of Nd:YAP lead to laser operation at 930 nm. Until now, most of the research interest involving four_level laser radiation has been focused on Nd:YAP crystal [31][32][33][34][35][36]. Diode pumped Nd:YAP laser opera tion in the spectrum region at 930 nm is reported in pulse operation [37].…”

“…Although these two host materials are both derived from the Y 2 O 3 -Al 2 O 3 system [1][2][3], the different composition ratios lead the crystalline host to be orthorhombic in the Nd:YAP crystal rather than cubic in the Nd:YAG crystal. Therefore, a more efficient nonlinear wavelength conversion could usually be readily achieved with the Nd:YAP laser thanks to the linearly polarized emission as a result of the natural crystal birefringence [4][5][6][7][8].…”
