Abstract

The Q-switching run and mode-locking run of laser self-frequency-doubling from 1.06 micrometers to 0.53 micrometers have been realized for the first time in self-active and self- frequency-doubling NYAB crystal pumped by an xenon flash lamp. Several MW/cm² giant pulse outputs at a 0.53 micrometers wavelength and a 0.53 micrometers ultrashort pulse chain of 0.22 mJ energy and 220 ps in duration were obtained, respectively. Meanwhile, the single green light pulse output energy and pulse duration were measured under the conditions of different resonator lengths and pumpings, and the ways of improving the green laser output peak power are proposed. The possibility of obtaining a total-solid NYAB mode-locked laser is discussed.
