High-power and high-quality, green-beam generation by employing a thermally near-unstable resonator design.

We have obtained green-beam quality of M2 = 6.2 at an average output power of 120 W by intracavity frequency doubling of a diode-side-pumped, Q-switched Nd:YAG rod laser with a repetition rate of 10 kHz and an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 15.2%. To achieve high-beam quality at high average power, the laser employs a thermally near-unstable resonator design with two-rod birefringence compensation in an L-shaped flat-flat cavity. The output power fluctuation of the green laser remains less than 0.9% in 4 h.

Configuration to improve second-harmonic-generation conversion efficiency.

The dependence of second-harmonic-generation (SHG) conversion efficiency on the intercrystal phase shift between two nonlinear crystals is analyzed with heuristic theory, and a novel scheme for SHG with two cascaded nonlinear crystals and a polarization modulator is proposed. More than 30 W output power is obtained experimentally at 532 nm with 70% external doubling efficiency. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest conversion efficiency obtained with LiB3O5 crystal external frequency doubling. This scheme provides a simple and effective method for improving second-harmonic conversion efficiency.
