Abstract

A Brewster plate and a KTiOPO4 crystal are placed inside a laser-diode-pumped Nd:YVO4 solid-state laser cavity to cause single-frequency oscillation of the 1.06 µm cw transition. The second-harmonic frequency generated by the KTP crystal is locked to an iodine absorption line at room temperature. Difficulties with intracavity frequency doubling and the observation of intensity and frequency hysteresis during cavity length modulation are discussed.
