Abstract
We demonstrate a diode-pumped continuous-wave tunable orthogonally polarized dual-wavelength Pr:LiGdF4 laser in the green range. The excellent mode matching between the pump and green lasers is achieved under the consideration of thermally induced effects. We analyze the condition of gain-to-loss balance via an uncoated glass etalon to achieve the dual-wavelength operation. At an absorbed pump power of 17.9 W, a dual-wavelength laser operating at 546 nm in π-polarization and 538 nm in σ-polarization with 1.72 W of average output power was obtained. Orthogonally polarized dual-wavelength laser operation at shorter- or longer-wavelength pairs with lower average output power could also be realized for other output-coupling transmissions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work realizing orthogonally polarized dual-wavelength operation in Pr:LiGdF4 lasers.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
