330 mW CW yellow emission from miniature self-Raman laser based on direct HR-coated Nd:YVO4 crystal

摘要

We report continuous-wave yellow emission from a miniature self-Raman laser using highly doped Nd:YVO4 crystals pumped by 3.8 W diode laser. Up to 330 mW output at 587.8 nm was obtained from an 18 mm long resonator using high-reflection (HR) coatings applied directly to the incident facet of the crystal.
