β¦ Synopsis
We report for the first time (to our knowledge) a quasi-three-level Nd:Sr3Ga2Ge4O14 (Nd:SGG) laser emitting at 902 nm. An end-pumped Nd:SGG crystal yielded 718 mW of continuous-wave (CW) output power for 17.9 W of incident pump power. Intracavity second-harmonic generation (SHG) in CW mode has also been demonstrated with a power of 116 mW at 451 nm by using a LiB 3 O 5 (LBO) nonlinear crystal. The blue beam quality factor M 2 was less than 1.27. The green power stability was less 5.3% in 4 hour.

We describe the output performances of the 916 nm 4 F 3/2 β 4 I 9/2 transition in Nd:LuVO4 under in-band pumping with diode laser at the 880 nm wavelength, directly into the 4 F 3/2 emitting level. An end-pumped Nd:LuVO 4 crystal yielded 11.7 W of continuous-wave output power for 23.5 W of absorbed
We present experimental investigation on quasi-threelevel operation of Nd:GdVO4 laser under 879 nm laser diode pumping into the emitting level. By using a 5-mm-long, 0.2-at.% bulk crystal, the maximal 3.65 W continuous wave 912 nm laser is obtained under 16.5 W pump power. The slope efficiency is 35
We present for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, a Yb:YAG laser operating in a continuous wave (CW) on the quasi-three-level laser at 1024 nm, based on the 2 F 5/2 -2 F 7/2 transition, generally used for a 1030 nm emission. The use of a pump module with 16 passes through the crystal allo
The performance of passively mode-locked Nd:GYSGG lasers was investigated for the first time. The 1061.5 nm continuous wave (CW) mode-locking operation of the Nd:GYSGG crystal was achieved and pulse as short as 3.1 ps have been generated with a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM). At the
Detailed polarization properties have been examined in laser-diode-pumped (LD-pumped) micro-grained ceramic Nd:YAG lasers in different microchip cavity configurations. Stable linearly-polarized single-frequency oscillations, whose polarization direction coincides with that of an LD pump light, were
