Abstract
We describe continuous wave single-frequency operation of an intracavity frequency-doubled Nd:YLF ring laser end-pumped by a fiber-coupled laser diode. Output power of has been achieved at . The amplitude noise of the laser reaches the quantum noise limit for frequencies above , and the phase noise reaches the quantum noise limit for frequencies above . The laser’s emission frequency can be tuned over by using an intracavity electro-optic crystal based Fabry–Perot etalon.
