Abstract

A new type of LD pumped Nd: YV04- KTP Q-switched green laser is demonstrated. By using the KTP crystal as both an electro-optic Q-switcher and a frequency-doubling crystal in type II phase matching for generating pulsed green beams, low loss and high efficiency characteristics were realized. Special temperature control technique and aspherical lens with smaller focus length were used in the laser, and all elements were fixed into a whole with epoxy. These measures improved the laser efficiency, output power and laser beam direction stability. Green power with up to 762 W peak output and 12 ns pulse width was obtained.
