dc.description.abstract | In this stud}·, we implemented end-pumped Fabry-Perot and ring
NeodymiumiYAC lasers operating at 1064 nm. Intracavity frequency doubling
of these lasers to 532nm was also achieved. A 4W diode laser was used as a
pump source. Diode light was transferred to the Nd:YAG crystal via various
optics. 2.5 W pump power was incident on the NdiYAG crystal. Various FabryPerot
resonator configurations were implemented and evaluated. A maximum
output power of 780 m\\ was obtained. This corresponds to 31% optical conversion
efficiency. A strong relationship between the laser performance and
the radius of the laser mode was observed. It is also noted that the wavelength
of the diode light is a very important parameter for laser performance.
In addition to Fabry-Perot lasers, a ring laser was implemented, yielding a
maximum output power of 230 mW. With these two types of lasers, intracavity
frequency doubling experiments were carried out using a KTP crystal.
165 mW and 85rnW maximum output powers at 532 nm were obtained from
intracavity frequency doubled Fabry-Perot and ring lasers, respectively | en_US |
