Abstract
Continuous-wave laser action from an Yb3+ doped periodically poled LiNbO3:MgO bulk crystal at 1.06 μm is reported. In addition, efficient and stable self-frequency-doubled laser action at 531 nm was obtained by quasiphase matching. Up to 10.5 mW of green output power is obtained from a total laser output power of 58 mW. The experiments were carried out by end pumping with a Ti:sapphire laser, as a surrogate source for a diode laser, at 980 nm. Laser operation was stable at room temperature. The results are compared with those corresponding to single-domain Yb-doped crystals.
