Abstract
We report an efficient high-power self-frequency-doubling (SFD) Nd:GdCOB laser. The maximum output power is at a wavelength of with an optical efficiency of 20.7%, which, to our knowledge, is the highest SFD laser output power and efficiency yet obtained. By optimizing the configuration and cut orientation of the Nd:GdCOB crystals, a SFD laser at a wavelength of about was achieved with a maximum output power of . We propose that these SFD lasers will have promise in applications such as laser displays, medical treatment, spectroscopic analysis, etc.
