Abstract

A highly efficient and high power green laser generated by intracavity frequency doubling of a diode-sidepumped Q-switched Nd: YAG laser has been demonstrated. In the simple L-shaped cavity geometry, the maximum green output power of 28.5 W was obtained with a pulse width of 95 ns at a pulse repetition rate of 10 kHz by using a LBO crystal for frequency doubling, corresponding to a conversion efficiency of 11% from diode pump power to pulse green power. At a pulse repetition rate of 1. kHz, 6.9 mJ of pulse energy, 25 ns of pulse duration and 276 kW of peak power were obtained.
