Here we report, to the best of our knowledge, the first diode-side-pumped continuous wave (cw) Nd3+:YVO4 self-Raman laser operating at 1176 nm. The compact cavity design is based on the total internal reflection of the laser beam at the pumped side of the Nd3+:YVO4 crystal. Configurations with a single bounce and a double bounce of the laser beam at the pumped faced have been characterized, providing a quasi-cw peak output power of more than 8 W (multimode) with an optical conversion efficiency of 11.5% and 3.7 W (TEM00) having an optical conversion efficiency of 5.4%, respectively. Cw output power of 1.8 W has been demonstrated.
在这里，我们据我们所知首次报告了二极管端面抽运连续波 (cw) Nd3+:YVO4 自拉曼激光器在 1176nm 处的运转。该紧凑型腔设计基于激光束在 Nd3+:YVO4 晶体的抽运侧的全内反射。对激光束在抽运面处单/双反射的配置进行了特性分析，分别提供了超过 8W 的准连续波峰值输出功率（多模），光转换效率为 11.5%和 3.7W（TEM00），光转换效率为 5.4%。此外，还演示了 1.8W 的连续波输出功率。
