Abstract

We report a continuous-wave dual-wavelength Nd:YAG laser at 1052 and 1073 nm, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, in free-running mode. The maximum output power reaches 6.64 W with slope efficiency of about 42.1% with respect to the absorbed power. Inserting a Cr:YAG saturable absorber, the dual-wavelength laser can operate in the Q-switching regime with maximum average output power of 880 mW. The minimum pulse width and the highest pulse repetition rate are 28 ns and 17.12 kHz, respectively. The dual-wavelength laser has potential to generate a 5.7 THz wave via the difference-frequency method.
