Abstract
A high-power yellow laser was achieved by intracavity frequency doubling of a diode-pumped Nd:YAG rod laser. A solid etalon was inserted into the resonator to implement efficient operation of the low-gain single line at 1123 nm transition. By using a LBO crystal inside the cavity as the frequency doubler, the maximum output power of the 561 nm yellow laser was obtained to be as high as 60.3 W with a pulse repetition frequency of 6 kHz, corresponding to an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of about 6.1%. The output power fluctuation of the yellow laser was measured to be better than 3% in half an hour.
