چکیده
We demonstrate the feasibility of a new concept of laser that benefits from both fiber and laser crystals: a cw diode-pumped solid-state laser with an intracavity fiber Bragg grating as the output coupler. The design of the laser cavity and the experimental demonstration are both described. Several applications are mentioned.

Diode-pumped Continuous-wave Nd:LuVO4 Laser Emitting at 1086 nm in σ Polarization
A diode-pumped Nd:LuVO4 laser emitted at 1086 nm in σ polarization has been demonstrated. A power of 2.37 W at 1086 nm has been achieved in continuous-wave (cw) operation with a fiber-coupled laser diode emitting 18.2 W at 809 nm. Moreover, intracavity second-harmonic generation in cw mode has also been demonstrated with a power of 528 mW at 543 nm by using a LiB3O5 (LBO) nonlinear crystal.
متن کاملTheoretical Study of Diode Pumped Intracavity Doubled Passively Q-Switched Solid-State Lasers
In recent years, great attention has been paid to high peak power all-solid-state pulsed blue-green lasers [1–4] for some applications such as spectroscopy, display, optical data storage, coherent telecommunications, remote sensing, medicine, etc. Such lasers are generally realized by intracavity or external cavity frequency doubling of cw laser-diode (LD)-pumped solid-state Q-switched Nd-doped...
متن کاملImplementation of a widely tunable microwave signal generator based on dual-polarization fiber grating laser.
In this paper, we demonstrate the implementation of a widely tunable microwave signal generator based on a dual-polarization fiber grating laser. The laser contains two strong, wavelength-matched Bragg gratings photoinscribed in an Er-doped fiber and emits two polarization modes when pumped with a 980 nm laser diode. By beating the two modes, a microwave signal with a signal-to-noise ratio over...
متن کاملDiode-pumped continuous-wave and femtosecond Cr:LiCAF lasers with high average power in the near infrared, visible and near ultraviolet.
We demonstrate continuous-wave (cw), cw frequency-doubled, cw mode-locked and Q-switched mode-locked operation of multimode diode-pumped Cr:LiCAF lasers with record average powers. Up to 2.54 W of cw output is obtained around 805 nm at an absorbed pump power of 5.5 W. Using intracavity frequency doubling with a BBO crystal, 0.9 W are generated around 402 nm, corresponding to an optical-to-optic...
متن کاملEfficient GaAlAs diode-laser-pumped operation of Nd: YLF at 1.047 Mum with intracavity doubling to 523.6 nm.
The use of semiconductor diode lasers as pump sources for solid-state lasers was demonstrated as early as 1964.1 In the past few years the dramatic increase in output power of diode lasers 2 has made pumping of solid-state lasers practical. Recently it was shown that diode-laser-pumped Nd:YAG lasers offer advantages over lamp-pumped lasers, including high efficiency3 and good frequency stabilit...
