Abstract
A model describing forward and backward counter-propagating laser and second harmonic Gaussian waves inside a non-linear laser crystal is us ed to calculate the output green power obtained from the NYAB self-dou bling laser. The model includes end-pumping, radially varying laser ga in, beam waist data, walk-off effect and reabsorption of the second ha rmonic waves by the Nd3+ ions. The model is adjusted to Fit experiment al data from literature. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
