Diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser with linear and orthogonal polarized components of a radiation at the wavelength 0.532 μm

Abstract

A diode-pumped continuous-wave Nd:YAG laser with two linear and mutually orthogonal polarized components of radiation at a wavelength 0.532 µm is studied theoretically and experimentally. The cavity configuration for the realization of generation in this region is suggested. Stable lasing with two mutually orthogonal polarized components is implemented within the range of the intercomponent separation practically from zero to approximately 10 GHz.

“…Nd-lasers have important applications in many fields, such as medical, industry, communication, etc. Much Nd-doped crystals, such as Nd:YVO 4 , Nd:GdVO 4 , Nd:LuVO 4 , Nd:LuGdVO 4 , Nd:YAG, and so on, have been proved to be excellent laser materials suitable for direct laser-diode (LD) pumping [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG), another crystal suitable for Nd doping and first grown by J.…”
