Abstract

Solid-state Raman lasers have emerged as powerful and efficient sources in spectral zones such as the yellow and orange that are difficult to access using conventional laser transitions. Output powers exceeding 1.5 W at 579 nm with pump-diode-to-visible efficiencies approaching 10 percent have been reported for compact diode-end-pumped systems. The method uses Raman and sum-frequency Nd:YAG laser, taking advantage of the high intracavity field to enhance frequency conversion.
