Small-scale, all-solid-state, frequency-doubled intracavity raman laser producing 5 mW yellow-orange output at 598 nm

Abstract We report a small-scale (10 cm-long) diode-pumped, Q -switched Nd:YVO 4 laser with intracavity (barium nitrate) Raman and (LBO) second-harmonic frequency conversion, generating >100 mW at the 1197 nm first Stokes and 5 mW at the 598 nm frequency-doubled wavelengths for a 1.6 W diode pump.
