چکیده
A single-crystal Nd:YAG fiber with polished and coated endfaces has been operated as a monolithic, guided-wave laser oscillator. The 47-microm-diameter, 7-mm-length fiber oscillator operated with a threshold of 3.7 mW and a slope efficiency of 10.5%. Seventy-five percent of the laser power was in the fundamental spatial mode.

Efficient, frequency-stable laser-diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser.
We have designed and tested a laser-diode-pumped monolithic Nd:YAG oscillator. The electrical-to-optical slope efficiency was 6.5%. The frequency jitter was less than 10 kHz over a 0.3-sec period, the best frequency stability reported for a Nd:YAG laser to date.
متن کاملMonolithic self-Q-switched Cr,Nd:YAG laser.
We report the operation of a diode-pumped monolithic self-Q-switched Cr,Nd:YAG laser in which the codoped ions create saturable absorption for Nd(3+) laser emission at 1064 nm. With a 70-microm beam diameter in the gain medium, the Q-switched pulse has a duration of 3.5 ns and a peak power of 2 kW. The output is linearly polarized with an extinction ratio of 600:1. The pulse-to-pulse intensity ...
متن کاملSecond-harmonic generation of a continuous-wave diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser using an externally resonant cavity.
We report 13% second-harmonic conversion efficiency of a 15-mW, cw, diode-laser-pumped Nd:YAG oscillator. 2 mW of single-axial-mode 532-mm radiation was generated by externally resonant second-harmonic generation in a monolithic MgO:LiNbO(3) nonlinear crystal cavity. The measured finesse of 450 for the monolithic external cavity indicated that absorption and scatter losses in the doubler were l...
متن کاملFrequency stability and offset locking of a laser-diode-pumped Nd:YAG monolithic nonplanar ring oscillator.
The frequency stability of laser-diode-pumped, monolithic Nd:YAG solid-state unidirectional nonplanar ring oscillators was studied by heterodyne measurements. We obtained cw single-axial- and transverse-mode power of 25 mW at 1064 nm at a slope efficiency of 19%. Two independent oscillators were offset locked at 17 MHz with frequency fluctuations of less than +/-40 kHz for periods of 8 min.
متن کاملFrequency stabilization of a monolithic Nd:YAG ring laser by controlling the power of the laser-diode pump source.
The frequency of a 700-mW monolithic nonplanar Nd:YAG ring laser (NPRO) depends, with a large coupling coefficient (megahertz per milliwatt), on the power of its laser-diode pump source. Using this effect, we demonstrate frequency stabilization of a NPRO to a frequency reference by feeding back to the current of its pump diodes. We achieved an error-point frequency noise smaller than 1mHz/ radi...
