Abstract

We report a single-mode (SM) green laser based on single-pass frequency doubling of a linearly-polarized narrowlinewidth Yb fiber laser in LBO crystal, and configured to operate in a range of regimes from continuous-wave (CW) to high-repetition-rate quasi-continuous-wave (QCW). Adjusting the duty cycle, we maintained high second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency for various output powers. Average powers of over 550W in QCW and over 350W in CW regimes were obtained with the wall-plug efficiency up to 15%, opening the possibility to creating new class of simple, compact and efficient single-mode green lasers with output power up to 1kW and above. The same approach could also be used to create high-power lasers operating at other wavelengths in ultraviolet and visible spectral ranges.
