26W near diffraction limited Q-switched green laser based on a diode-end-pumped master oscillator power amplifier

摘要

An efficient acousto-optically Q-switched extracavity frequency-doubled 532nm laser based on a diode-end-pumped master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) is demonstrated. With a type I non-critically phase-matched LBO, 26W of average power at 532nm in a near diffraction limited mode at a repetition rate of 30kHz was generated under 43W pump power of 1064nm Nd:YVO4 laser, which correspond to a frequency-doubling conversion efficiency of 60%.
