Summary: Continuous-wave deep red lasers at 696.6 and 698.6 nm were achieved in a Pr3+:YLF crystal pumped by an InGaN laser diode. A Lyot filter was used as a birefringent filter in the cavity to select the wavelengths, and the lasers achieved maximum output powers of 1.36 and 3.11 W, respectively. The output powers of these lasers are the highest reported so far, and this is the first demonstration of scaling the output power of the Pr3+:YLF laser to the watt level at around 696 nm. The experimental phenomena were also explained through theoretical analysis and simulation.

Summary: The paper presents an all-solid-state CW green laser with an output wavelength of 522 nm, achieved by using a Pr3+:YLF crystal as the gain medium pumped by a high-power fiber-coupled blue laser diode module. The optimized laser resonator length was 311.3 mm, resulting in a maximum output power of 886 mW with a conversion efficiency of 11.25% and a beam quality M-2 of 1.15. The watt-level green laser can also be used for generating high power CW deep UV laser for various applications.

Summary: This paper presents the first demonstration of a mid-infrared optical parametric oscillator (MIR OPO) based on ZGP crystal, which was directly pumped by an acousto-optical Q-switched Tm:YLF laser at 1.908 μm. The improved quality of ZGP crystal with low absorption coefficient (<0.04 cm-1) and high laser-induced damage threshold (>3 J/cm2) at 1.908 μm resulted in an output power of 17.8 W for both the 3.53 μm signal and 4.15 μm idler lasers when the double-pump-pass, doubly-resonated ZGP OPO was pumped at 28.6 W. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest output power and efficiency for any kind of Tm-laser directly-pumped OPOs.

Summary: A rate equation theoretical model is created for a continuous-wave end-pumped Pr3+:YLF single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) green laser. By inserting two Fabry-Perot etalons into the cavity, a single-longitudinal-mode green laser is generated, with a maximum output power of 183 mW and maximum absorbed pump power of 6.2 W. The corresponding linewidth is approximately 18 MHz. This work presents a simple method for generating a single-longitudinal-mode laser in the green spectral region, providing a practical approach for various green-laser-related applications.
