Description

We report for the first time a Nd:GdVO4 laser operating in a continuous wave (CW) on the quasi-three-level laser at 893 nm, based on the 4F3/2 – 4I9/2 transition, generally used for a 912 nm emission. The use of a pump module with 16 passes through the crystal allowed the realization of a Nd:GdVO4 thin-disk laser with 157 mW of CW output power at 893 nm. Moreover, intracavity second-harmonic generation (SHG) has also been achieved with a power of 23 mW at 447 nm by using a BiB3O6 (BiBO) nonlinear crystal
