589 nm laser generation by frequency doubling of a single-frequency Raman fiber amplifier in PPSLT.

چکیده
A high-power single-frequency 1178 nm continuous-wave laser is generated in a two-stage stimulated-Brillouin-scattering-suppressed all-polarization-maintaining Raman fiber amplifier pumped by 1120 nm fiber lasers. A polarization-extinction-ratio of 30 dB is achieved due to the all-polarization-maintaining configuration and the polarization dependence gain of Raman scattering. Single-pass frequency doubling with a homemade periodically poled near-stoichiometric LiTaO(3) crystal (PPSLT) produces an up to 7 W narrow-linewidth laser at 589 nm. The thermally induced dephasing effect is found to be the key issue for improving second-harmonic efficiency.

589 nm Light Source Based on Raman Fiber Laser
Harmonic generation using nonlinear optical crystals is currently the most efficient approach of obtaining visible and ultraviolet lasers. Diode-pumped Nd-doped solid-state lasers can operate in the blue, green, and red spectral regions by intracavity frequency doubling. However, there are few solid-state laser sources that can efficiently produce laser emission in a region covering 550 to 650 ...

متن کاملHigh-efficiency generation of a continuous-wave single-frequency 780 nm laser by external-cavity frequency doubling.
We demonstrated a 670 mW continuous-wave single-frequency laser source at 780 nm by using external-cavity-enhanced second-harmonic generation of a seeded fiber amplifier in periodically poled lithium niobate. A maximum second-harmonic conversion efficiency of 58% was achieved. The source can work stably over 1 h by locking the frequency-doubling cavity, while the power stability is less than 2%.
