“…To avoid this undesirable effect, single mode operation is needed. In order to obtain single fre− quency operation, several techniques have been developed, short laser cavity [3,4], the set−up with an external etalon in− side the laser cavity [5], the set−up with a quarter plate inside the cavity [6,7] or special ring configuration resonator -non planar ring oscillator [8]. Single mode operation can also be obtained in a laser configuration with a birefringent filter, where the filter is formed by Brewster plate and KTP crystal [9][10][11].…”

We present the concept and practical realization of a single frequency, tuneable diode pumped Nd:YVO4/YVO4/KTP microchip laser operating at 532 nm. Theoretical analysis of the single mode operation of such a laser configuration is presented. The single frequency operation has been obtained in a birefringent filter, where an YVO4 beam displacer acts as an ideal polarizer. Experimental results are in good agreement with theoretical analysis. We have obtained stable single frequency operation, tuneable over 0.6 nm in the spectral range around 1064 nm. The laser operated with output power up to 110 mW at 53 nm. The total optical efficiency (808 nm to 532 nm) was 14%.

“…The r-polarized mode can exist in the resonator, especially under high pump power. There are two effects relevant to this dynamical process (Anthon et al 1992). One is the mode coupling related to the presence of standing waves in the gain medium on the microsecond scale of the cavity relaxation oscillations.…”

Nd 3+ :NaY(WO 4 ) 2 , known as Nd:NYW, is a new type crystal. By using laser-diode as pump source, a passive Q-switching of intracavity-frequency-doubling Nd:NYW/KTP laser has been realized with Cr 4+ :YAG saturable absorber. The dependence of pulse repetition rate, pulse energy, pulse width, and peak power on incident pump power for different small-signal transmissions of Cr 4+ :YAG are measured. The coupled rate equations are used to simulate the Q-switched process of laser, and the numerical solutions agree with the experimental results.
