Abstract
We report the generation of high-power red light radiation of 11.2W in a LiB3O5(LBO) crystal with intra-cavity frequency doubling of two compact and simple side-pumped Nd:YAG laser modules under a repetition rate of 3.5kHz. The pulse width of output is about 180±20,ns. The beam quality of the M2 value is 15±3 in both the directions. This excellent laser performance demonstrates that the Nd:YAG laser with LBO intracavity frequency doubling is an promising method for generating red light with high brightness.
