“…Sodium guide star lasers at 589 nm are widely used in ground optical telescopes for the applications in astronomical observations, mesospheric sensing, ground-space communication and space debris tracking [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Frequency doubling of 1178 nm lasers [9][10][11]12] and frequency mixing of two lasers with separate wavelengths [13][14][15] are two common technologies to normally used 1064 nm pump laser). Besides, it is relatively difficult for Raman fiber oscillator to obtain a high-power narrow linewidth (tens of GHz) Stokes laser [23].…”

We demonstrate a high-efficiency continuous-wave (CW) diamond Raman laser operating at 1178 nm with enhanced stability by using a V-cavity design. A maximum Stokes power of 39 W with a conversion efficiency of 45% was achieved using a linearly-polarized 1018 nm Yb-doped fiber pump laser. The Stokes CW power stability showed superior stability over a linear cavity when characterized over periods up to 15 min. The Stokes output was found to switch between linear, elliptical, and random polarization with varying pump polarization. The results represent a major step towards stable, efficient and high-power CW lasers at 1178 nm and at wavelengths outside the main Yb, and Nd emission bands.

“…Owing to their strong average and peak power scaling ability and wide range of wavelength coverage, solid‐state lasers are critical for space exploration, defense, and manufacturing 43–45 . In particular, SLM solid‐state lasers are ideal for applications where a high‐coherence light source is required, including Doppler wind lidar, atmospheric composition measurement, gravitational wave detection, sodium guide star, and nonlinear optics 46–48 . In a standing wave cavity, the frequency distance between each longitudinal mode is described as follows:

normalΔ v_{q} goodbreak= \frac{c}{2 italicηL},

where η represents the overall refractive index of the cavity, and L represents the cavity length, as shown in Figure 3A.…”

With high-temporal coherence and low-phase noise, narrowlinewidth lasers have important applications in spectroscopy, holography, and coherent detection. At present, ultra-narrowlinewidth lasing is generated by solid-state, optical fiber, and semiconductor lasers, which serve as a good light source for scientific research and industrial applications. In this article, we summarize the fundamental techniques and review recent developments in narrow-linewidth lasers. Moreover, typical applications of narrow-linewidth lasers are discussed to provide reliable and easy-to-use references for comparing the performance of narrow-linewidth lasers.

“…With only one fundamental frequency component, singlelongitudinal-mode (SLM) lasers have the advantages of narrow linewidths and low phase noise and are therefore ideal for applications where a high-coherence light source is required, including Doppler wind lidar, atmospheric composition measurement, coherent optical communication, gravitational wave detection, sodium guide star, and nonlinear optics [1][2][3][4][5]. In general, if the linewidth of an SLM laser is narrower than the resolution of a spectrum analyzer or the nonlinear gain bandwidth of a specific medium, it is assumed to be a single-frequency laser.…”

Lasers with narrow linewidths and single frequencies are widely used in fields such as radar detection, nonlinear optics, and precision measurements. The demand for such lasers has promoted the rapid development of single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) selection technology. Here, we highlight the working principles of current mainstream SLM selection technologies and the recent advances in the field. We compare the characteristics of different SLM selection methods and list the challenges faced by these technologies.
