Diode-pumped orthogonally polarized Nd:LuVO₄ lasers based on the ⁴F_3/2–⁴I_11/2 transition

Abstract

A diode-pumped simultaneous orthogonally polarized continuous-wave (cw) dual-wavelength $\mathrm{Nd}\text{:}{\mathrm{LuVO}}_4$ laser based on the ${}^4{\mathrm{F}}_{3/2}-{}^4{\mathrm{I}}_{11/2}$ transition is experimentally demonstrated. A theoretical analysis has been introduced to determine the threshold conditions for simultaneous orthogonally polarized dual-wavelength laser. Using a polarization beam splitter included resonant cavity in the experiments, simultaneous orthogonal polarized dual-wavelength $\mathrm{Nd}\text{:}{\mathrm{LuVO}}_4$ laser operation was realized at two close wavelengths near 1060–1070 nm. To our knowledge, this is the first work of realizing simultaneous dual-wavelength $\mathrm{Nd}\text{:}{\mathrm{LuVO}}_4$ laser operation near 1060–1070 nm.
