Abstract
Results on green laser performances are reported for a new efficient s elf-frequency-doubling (SFD) oxoborate crystal: Nd3+:Ca4GdO(BO3)(3) (N d:GdCOB). 21 mW of green cw laser emission for an absorbed pump power of 820 mW were achieved under laser diode-pumping. 64 mW of green cw l aser output were obtained with 1 W of absorbed pump power under titani urn-sapphire pumping. Its availability in large-size crystals with goo d optical quality makes Nd:GdCOB a true challenger to the best SFD las er crystal reported so far: Nd:YAl3(BO3)(4) (Nd:YAB or NYAB).
