| pubmed-article:20648177 | pubmed:abstractText | We present what is, to the best of our knowledge, the first diode-pumped Nd:LuVO(4) laser emitting at 1089 nm, based on the (4)F(3/2)-(4)I(11/2) transition, generally used for a 1066 nm emission. A power of 8.7 W at 1089 nm has been achieved in continuous-wave (cw) operation with a fiber-coupled laser diode emitting 18.7 W at 809 nm. Intracavity second-harmonic generation in cw mode has also been demonstrated with a power of 3.6 W at 544.5 nm by using a LiB(3)O(5) nonlinear crystal. | lld:pubmed |
