Abstract
We demonstrate an efficient Nd:YVO4/KGW intracavity Raman laser in continuous-wave (CW) scheme. With a V-shaped fundamental laser cavity and a short Stokes cavity in it, the oscillating beam sizes are designed to alleviate the thermal effect and to enhance the Raman gain for efficient CW operation. The output power of CW Stokes wave at 1177 nm reached 9.33 W under an incident laser diode pump power of 36.65 W, with corresponding optical efficiency being 25.5%. To the best of our knowledge, these are the highest Stokes output power and conversion efficiency of CW intracavity Raman lasers.
