Abstract:All solid-state continuous-wave (cw) narrow emission linewidth and tunable red lasers are convenient alternative sources to bulky and expensive dye-lasers for highprecision laser spectroscopy. Single-frequency operation of diode-pumped Nd:YLiF 4 and Nd:YVO 4 cw ring lasers were investigated in the 1.32 -1.34µm range, together with their intracavity second-harmonic generation (SHG) to the red spectral range (0.65 -0.67µm) using either BiB 3 O 6 (BiBO) or periodically-poled KTiOPO 4 (ppKTP) crystals.We report on… Show more
