✦ Synopsis
We present for the first time laser architecture to obtain continuous-wave yellow radiation at 594 nm. The choice of crystals (Nd:LuVO 4 for emission at 1343 nm and Nd:YAG for emission at 1064 nm) was guided by laser performance. A part of the pump power was then absorbed by the Nd:LuVO4 crystal, the remaining was used to pump the Nd:YAG crystal. Intracavity sum-frequency mixing at 1343 and 1064 nm was realized in a KTiOPO 4 (KTP) crystal to reach the yellow radiation. We obtained a continuous-wave output power of 312 mW at 594 nm with a pump laser diode emitting 18.4 W at 808 nm.
