Yf. Chen et al., INVESTIGATION OF FIBER-COUPLED LASER-DIODE-PUMPED NYAB GREEN LASER PERFORMANCE, IEEE photonics technology letters, 8(10), 1996, pp. 1313-1315
The optimum pump condition for a fiber-coupled diode end-pumped NYAB l
aser has been determined by including the effect of pump beam quality
into the analysis. Under the optimum pump condition, 67 mW of the gree
n laser output corresponding to a conversion efficiency 10.3% was obta
ined from a self frequency-doubling NYAB crystal when pumped by a 650
mW fiber-coupled laser diode. The prospect of higher conversion effici
ency is also discussed.
