摘要
A maximum of 5.5 W of cw TEM_(00) mode output at 532nm has been obtained by intracavity frequency doubling with a KTP crystal in an Nd:YVO_(4) laser doubly-pumped with 20 W diode pumping power.The optical-optical conversion efficiency is 27.5%.The influence of thermal lensing at high pumping power in the end-pumped Nd:YVO_(4) laser is discussed.The Nd:YVO_(4) laser has a good power stability of 1.6%.
