Efficient continuous-wave intracavity frequency doubling of a diode-end-pumped Nd:GdVO4 laser operating on 4 F 3/2 -4 I 11/2 transitions at 1083 nm (generally used for a 1063 nm emission) has been demonstrated for the first time.

β¦ Synopsis
We presented a high pulse repetition frequency (PRF) all-solid-state 1053 nm Nd:YLF laser with laser diode (LD) end-pumped and acousto-optic (AO) Q-switching configuration. When the PRF reached 50 kHz, 1.12 W average power and 541 W peak power was obtained, corresponding to the optical-optical efficiency of 31.2% and the pump power of 3.58 W, and the pulse width was compressed to 41.4 ns with the ultrashort cavity length of 40 mm, and the pulse instability smaller than 4%. The beam quality factors and the angle drift were measured as M 2
x = 1.247 and M 2 y = 1.285 and 0.2 mrad, respectively.
