β¦ Synopsis
A compact and efficient green laser light at 538 nm produced by self-sum-frequency-mixing of both fundamental infrared laser waves (1061 and 1091 nm) in Nd:GdCa 4 O(BO 3 ) 3 (Nd:GdCOB) crystal is demonstrated. With 18.2 W of diode pump power, a maximum output power of 1.73 W in the green spectral range at 538 nm has been achieved, corresponding to an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 9.5%; the output power stability over 30 min is better than 3%. To the best of our knowledge, this is first work on self-sumfrequency-mixing of a diode pumped Nd:GdCOB laser.
