چکیده
Several continuous-wave Nd:YVO(4) self-Raman lasers based on the primary and secondary Raman transitions of YVO(4) (893cm(-1) and 379cm(-1) respectively) are reported in this paper. Laser outputs were obtained at a wavelength of 1109nm, 1158nm and 1231nm with maximum output powers of 1.0W, 700mW and 540mW respectively. The respective absorbed pump power to Raman output power conversion efficiencies were measured at 8.4%, 5.4%, and 5.4%.

متن کاملCascaded self-Raman lasers based on 382 cm(-1) shift in Nd:GdVO4.
We report quasi-continuous-wave, cascaded Nd:GdVO(4) self-Raman lasers based on a secondary Raman transition at 382 cm(-1) for which the Raman gain was estimated to be 0.7 cm/GW. Laser output was obtained in the near-infrared at 1108 nm, 1156 nm and 1227 nm. By incorporating intracavity sum-frequency generation (SFG) or second-harmonic generation (SHG), high power output at four discrete visibl...

In this paper, the investigation and detailed modeling of a cascaded Raman laser, operating in the midwave infrared region, is described. The device is based on silicon-on-insulator optical waveguides and a coupled resonant microcavity. Theoretical results are compared with recent experiments, demonstrating a very good agreement. Design criteria are derived for cascaded Raman lasers working as ...
متن کاملFour-Dimensional Thermal Analysis of 888 nm Pumped Nd:YVO4 Dual-Rod Acousto-Optic Q-Switched Laser
A theoretical analysis upon the four-dimensional (4D) spatio-temporal temperature dependent dynamics of 888 nm pumped Nd:YVO4 dual-rod laser is established, which is valid in both continuous-wave (CW) and acousto-optic (AO) Q-switched pulse lasers conditions. Our model can accurately solve the 4D thermal generation and temperature evolution not only in the steady Q-switched state, but also in t...

The optimal physical conditions of single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) operation for continuous-wave all-solid-state lasers with high output powers are investigated theoretically and experimentally. The dependence of the operation conditions on the linear and nonlinear intracavity losses of the laser is numerically calculated. The theoretical analysis is demonstrated by the experimental measurements...
