  • Yb-doped: yab laser crystal and self-frequency doubling yb:yab laser system
    Publication number: 20030138012
    Abstract: A nonlinear Yb:YAB laser material is disclosed. The material is capable of generating fundamental o-polarized first wavelength laser light and frequency doubled e-polarized second wavelength laser light, the material being oriented for type 1 phase matching of the first wavelength laser light. Also disclosed is a laser system. The system comprises a pumping light source emitting a pumping beam of light, a laser cavity having an input coupler operatively disposed with respect to the light source so as to couple the pumping beam of light into the cavity, and a nonlinear Yb:YAB laser material capable of lasing in response to a pumping beam of light thereby generating fundamental o-polarized first wavelength laser light and frequency doubled e-polarized second wavelength laser light, the material being oriented for type 1 phase matching of the first wavelength laser light, the first wavelength laser light being in the range of 1020-1100 nm and the second wavelength laser light being in the range of 510-550 nm.
