Generation of a 578-nm Yellow Laser by the Use of Sum-Frequency Mixing in a Branched Cavity

A compact, continuous-wave, solid-state laser at 578 nm has been demonstrated, for the first time to our knowledge, by use of intracavity sum-frequency mixing from a branched cavity with an LBO crystal. Two gain mediums, namely, the Nd:YAG single crystal and the Yb:YAG single crystal (with a disk la...
