摘要
It is reported that efficient continuous-wave (CW) red laser generation at 693 nm in a LBO crystal at type-I phase matching direction performed with a diode-pumped Nd:YVO4 laser. With incident pump power of 18.2 W, output power of 278 mW at 693 nm has been obtained using a 10 mm-long LBO crystal. At the output power level of 278 mW, the output stability is better than 2.9%.
