Description

We report for the first time a Nd:LuVO4 laser operating in a continuous wave (CW) on the true three-level laser at 880 nm, based on the 4F3/2 – 4I9/2 transition. CW 345 mW output power at 880 nm is obtained under 18.2 W of incident pump power. Moreover, the intracavity second-harmonic generation (SHG) has also been achieved with a blue power of 37 mW by using a LiB3O5 (LBO) nonlinear crystal
