Abstract

A highly efficient diode-pumped Nd:YVO4/KGW Raman yellow laser is developed to produce a 6.8 W yellow light at 579.5 nm accompanied by a 3.2 W Stokes wave at 1159 nm under an incident pump power of 30 W. The intracavity stimulated Raman scattering with the shift of 768 cm(-1) is generated by setting the polarization of the fundamental wave along the N-g direction of an N-p-cut KGW crystal. The Nd:YVO4 gain medium is coated as a cavity mirror to reduce the cavity losses for the fundamental wave. More importantly, the KGW crystal is specially coated to prevent the Stokes wave from propagating through the gain medium to minimize the cavity losses for the Stokes wave.
