Abstract
We present an efficient high-power quasicontinuous-wave (QCW) all-solid-state laser at 532 nm with a simple and compact symmetrical resonator. We design a stable green laser at 532 nm with an average power of 123 W and a repetition rate of 10 kHz by combining a single side-pumped Nd:YAG laser module with a type II LBO crystal for intracavity frequency doubling. The corresponding electrical-to-green conversion efficiency is 12.5%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest electrical-to-green efficiency in 532 nm lasers with above 100 W output power ever reported. The pulse width is 62 ns at 123 W, so the peak power is calculated up to 198.4 kW. Such a compact and efficient resonator is promising for integration into laser-application systems.
