Abstract

A high power single-frequency operation at 1112 nm with novel insertable monolithic planar ring oscillator based on a Nd:YAG/YAG bonded crystal is proposed. In a proof-of-principle experiment, a finely designed coating on the output surface is carried out to ensure single-wavelength oscillation at 1112 nm, together with a half-wave plate and a Tb3Ga5O12 crystal inserted in the open space of the bonded block to realize the unidirectional operation with power scalability. Consequently, the single-frequency laser delivers an output power of 3.9W at 1112.3 nm with a slope efficiency of 58.6% and an optical-to-optical efficiency of 17.7%. The power fluctuation is measured to be within ± 0.26% over 20 min, and the laser linewidth is estimated to be 4.15 MHz (Δλ = 0.017 pm).
