摘要
The phase matching angle of GdCOB crystal is calculated. By using Xenon flash lamp as pump source, we have realized the free run from 1.06 mu m to 0.53 mu m in self-frequency-doubling Cr:Nd:GdCOB (bi-doped) crystal and Nd:GdCOB (uni-doped) crystal. The experimental results show that the threshold energies for bi-doped crystal and uni-doped crystal are 0.92 J and 1.00 J, respectively; when the pump energy is 10 J, the output energies of green laser for two kinds of crystals are 2.46 mJ and 1.96 mJ, respectively. The output energy of Cr:Nd:GdCOB crystal has an increase of 25% in comparison to that of Nd:Gd:COB crystal. In addition, we discuss ways to improve efficiency. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
