LD-pumped Q-switched self-frequency-doubling laser

We report here LD pumped Q-Switched LNYAB Self-frequency-doubling Laser. Under 570mW of O.8O2.tm pumping power, the series pulses of O.53j.im green laser with 4.2ns of pulse width and 750W of peak power have been measured . The laser reliably operates when Q—switching rate ranges from CW to 100kHz. The highest peak power was obtained at repetition rate of 10kHz. To our knowledge, it is the first LD pumped acoustooptic Q-switched LNYAB green laser in the world and should be a desirable and reliable pulsed green laser source in the future. KEY WORDS: Self-frequency-doubling Laser, LD Pumped, LNYAB, Q-Switched
