Frequency-doubled operation of a ground-state-depleted laser using the Nd3+4F3/2-4/9/2 transition in Y2SiO5

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

A ground-state-depleted laser has been demonstrated at 912 nm in the form of a Q-switched oscillator operating on the Nd3+4F3/2-4/9/2 transition in Y2SiO5. Samarium scandium gallium garnet has been demonstrated to be effective at selectively suppressing the competing and much stronger 4F3/2-4/11/2 lasing transition. Efficient harmonic generation has been demonstrated by using noncritically phase-matched KNbO3.
