Abstract
A high power continuous-wave single-frequency green fiber laser by
second-harmonic generation of a Yb-doped fiber amplifier (YDFA) is developed.
A linearly polarized single-mode fiber amplifier produces a 60 W infrared
laser at 1064 nm with a 103 W incident diode pump laser at 976 nm,
corresponding to an optical conversion efficiency of 58%. An external bow-tie
enhancement cavity incorporating a noncritically phase-matched lithium
triborate crystal is employed for second-harmonic generation. A 33.2 W laser
at 532 nm is obtained with a 45 W incident 1064 nm fundamental laser,
corresponding to a conversion efficiency of 74%.
