Mode matching of LD end-pumped 946-nm Nd:YAG laser
Abstract
Mode matching of the pump beam with laser modes in laser diode (LD) end-pumped solid-state laser was experimentally studied. Considering both the mode-match degree and laser threshold, the effective absorbed pump power in Nd:YAG was calculated. Based on the criteria, a 946-nm laser resonant cavity was designed and a 473-nm blue-light solid-state laser was efficiently assembled by means of intracavity frequency doubling.
