Blue-green light generation by self-sum-frequency mixing Nd:YCOB laser

Abstract: We report a coherent blue-green radiation at 497 nm by self-sum-frequency generation of the 936 and 1060 nm laser-lines of the Nd:YCa4O(BO3)3 (Nd:YCOB) crystal. With a diode pump power of 14.3 W, the maximum blue-green output power of 75 mW is obtained. The beam quality M2 value is 1.22 in both horizontal and vertical dimensions. The output power stability over 30 min is better than 4.1%. To the best of our knowledge, this is first work on self-sum-frequency generation of a diode pumped Nd:YCOB laser at 497 nm. Show more

“…Since 1990s, many studies of sum frequency tech nology have been carried out, and then obtained many new wavelengths, such as green laser at 538 nm, by self sum frequency mixing of both fundamental infrared laser waves (1061 and 1091 nm), with 18.2 W of diode pump power, a maximum output power of 1.73 W has been achieved [8], 531 nm, with a diode pump power of 8.3 W, laser at 531 nm of 148 mW is obtained [9], blue green laser at 497 nm, by self sum frequency generation of the 936 and 1060 nm, with a diode pump power of 14.3 W, the maximum output power was 75 mW [10], yellow laser at 592 nm, with a diode pump power of 9.8 W, laser at 592 nm of 37 mW is obtained [11], orange laser at 600 nm, by intracavity sum frequency generation of the 1085 and 1342 nm laser lines of two Nd:YVO 4 lasers, laser at 600 nm of 1.06 W is obtained. The power stability in 30 min is better than 2.8% [12], and so on.…”

“…The other way is to develop lasers emitting at the lowest wavelength possible in the near infrared [2] and to perform nonlinear conversion. Various solid lasers in blue spectra range [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] have been obtained by nonlinear conversion of the transi tion of solid lasers [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. These blue lasers are effi cient and powerful, nevertheless their wavelengths are too high compared to the 442 nm He-Cd laser.…”

“…In these lasers, the key material is a self-frequency-doubling crystal which performs both functions of laser emission and nonlinear optical conversion in a single crystal. Nd or Yb doped YAB, GCOB, YCOB, MgO:LiNbO 3 , Nd:LiNbO 3 , and LnCa 4 O(BO 3 ) 3 (Ln = Y or Gd) are three most promising series selffrequency-doubling crystal [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. Nd 3+ doped GdCOB has been reported to perform very efficiently as a continuous wave (CW) self-frequency-doubled laser in the green laser radiation based on self-frequency conversion [47,48]…”
