Abstract
In this review, the developments of efficient high-power CW orange-lime-green lasers by using intracavity stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) in Nd-doped vanadate lasers are systematically discussed. The overall properties of the spontaneous Raman spectra in Nd:YVO4 and Nd:GdVO4 crystals are overviewed. The critical phase matchings of using the lithium triborate (LBO) crystals for sum frequency generation (SFG) and second harmonic generation (SHG) are thoroughly reviewed. We make a detailed review for achieving the individual green-lime-orange emissions from the self-Raman Nd:YVO4 and Nd:GdVO4 lasers with LBO crystals. The following is to review the dual-wavelength operations of the lime-green and orange-green lasers. Finally, the procedure for generating the triple-wavelength operation of orange-lime-green simultaneous emissions is completely described. The present review is expected to be useful for developing compact, efficient, high-power CW visible lasers for applications including medical treatment, biology, spectroscopy, and remote sensing.
