摘要: This paper reports a high-power quasi-continuous wave (quasi-CW) source of red laser at 671nm obtained by intracavity frequency doubling of a double-end-pumped 1342nm Nd:YVO$_{4}$ laser, based on the nonlinear crystal LiB$_{3}$O$_{5}$(LBO) The average output power of 2.9W at 671nm was obtained at the incident pump power of 19.5W. The overall optical to optical efficiency is 14.9{\%}. We have analyzed the influence of the optimal pump size, the optimal focal position and the reduction of the thermal effect on high output. The combination of double-end-pumping and the quasi-CW performance greatly reduces the thermal effect.
