A compact and high efficiency diode pumped green laser based on MgO doped PPLN

In this work, an efficient intra-cavity second harmonic generation of green laser in a periodically poled MgO doped LiNbO3 (MgO:PPLN) bulk crystal using a compact Nd:YVO4 laser as a fundamental laser source is reported. Different length, different working temperature MgO:PPLN crystals are tested and investigated in the SHG experiments. The maximum output power at 532 nm is 6.2 W at the absorbed pump power at 808 nm of 14 W, the optical to …
