Abstract
A diode-end-pumped Nd:LuYAG mixed crystal laser in the 1.3 μm spectral domain using a simple and compact two-mirror laser cavity is reported for the first time to our knowledge. In the free-running laser operation, we obtain a simultaneous dual-wavelength laser at about 1319 and 1338 nm with a maximum output power of 2.92 W and a slope efficiency of about 26.7%. By inserting an undoped YAG etalon into the laser cavity, the two 1319 and 1338 nm lasers can be operated singly with the maximum output powers of 1.36 and 1.73 W. Moreover, three simultaneous dual-wavelength lasers at 1334.67 and 1340.93 nm, 1319.15 and 1354.57 nm, and 1335.54 and 1354.94 nm can also be yielded with maximum output powers of 1.02, 0.66, and 0.47 W as well as slope efficiencies of 12.3%, 8.9%, and 6.9%, respectively. These dual-wavelength laser sources provide potential THz wave generation by beat frequency.
