Abstract

Nd-doped strontium and lanthanum (ASL) crystals Sr_1-xLa_x-yNd_yMg_xAl_12-xO₁₉ (0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.5; y = 0.05) were grown by Czochralski pulling technique. Up to 1.67W of 900nm IR output laser power for an absorbed power of 2.53W was obtained under Ti:sapphire pumping at 792nm. Intracavity second harmonic generation experiments led to 320mW of blue laser power at 450nm with a 10mm-long BiB₃O₆ nonlinear crystal. Other nonlinear crystals were also evaluated such as LBO.
