Abstract

We report for the first time a continuous-wave (CW) blue-green laser emission by sum-frequency mixing in Nd:CNGG crystal. Using type-I critical phase-matching LBO crystal, a blue-green laser at 497 nm is obtained by 1061 and 935 nm intracavity sum-frequency mixing. The maximum laser output power of 232 mW is obtained when an incident pump laser of 18.2 W is used. At the output power level of 232 mW, the output stability is better than 3.67%. The beam quality M 2 value is are about 1.26 and 1.38 in both horizontal and vertical dimensions respectively.
