摘要

An efficient compact self-Raman frequency conversion in an end-diode-pumped actively Q-switched c-cut Nd:YVO4 laser has been demonstrated. At an incident pump power of 5.0 W, the self-stimulated Raman laser produces 910 nW of 1178 nm average output power at a pulse repetition frequency of 20 kHz. Diode-to-Raman optical conversion efficiency is more than 18%. a maximum average output power of 1.4 W is achieved at a pulse repetition frequency of 60 kHz and an incident pump power of 9.0 W.
