Abstract

Diode-pumped solid-state Raman lasers are a versatile class of pulsed (multi-kilohertz) laser devices, well-suited to accessing the “hard to reach” yellow-orange spectral region. We report on an intracavity Raman laser based on Nd:YAG which produce average output powers up to 1.8W at 579nm, conversion efficiencies up to 8% with respect to diode output power, output which is easily selectable between 532nm, 555nm, 579nm and 605nm. We present our results with an emphasis on highlighting the underlying physics and key design considerations for this class of laser devices.
