Multiple-color cw visible lasers by frequency sum-mixing in a cascading Raman fiber laser

Multiple-color cw visible lasers by frequency sum-mixing in a cascading Raman fiber laser

Yan Feng, Shenghong Huang, Akira Shirakawa, and Ken-ichi Ueda, University of Electro-Communications

Multiple cw visible lasers at wavelengths ranging from 550nm to 625nm were generated by intracavity frequency sum-mixing of a cascading Raman fiber laser in a type-I noncritically phase-matched lithium triborate crystal. The phase matching conditions for individual wavelengths were realized by tuning the temperature of the lithium triborate crystal.

(Received 14 October 2003; accepted 19 December 2003)

We report an experimental investigation on the thermal effects in a Nd3+:Y3Al5O12 nanocrystalline-powder random laser with a one-mirror structure by quasi-continuous-wave laser diode pumping. Extremely low thermal conductivity in powder and significant temperature dependence of the narrow emission spectrum of Nd3+:Y3Al5O12 leads to a laser line redshift and gain reduction with a higher heat deposit. Mode drifting induced by the temperature dependence of the refractive index is also discussed. ©2004 American Institute of Physics.
