Title:
DIODE PUMPED, MULTI AXIAL MODE INTRACAVITY DOUBLED LASER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999056357
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A diode pumped, multi axial mode, intracavity doubled laser has at least two resonator mirrors that define a resonator cavity. A Nd:YVO4 laser crystal and an LBO doubling crystal are positioned in the resonator cavity. A diode pump source supplies a pump beam to the laser crystal and produces a laser crystal beam with at least three axial modes that are incident on the doubling crystal. A frequency doubled output beam is generated with an output power of at least 1 watt.
