Low threshold CW Nc laser oscillator at 1060 nm studyA broad range of characteristics of neodymium/yag lasers were investigated. With Nd:YVO4 crystals, CW 1.06 mu lasers were operated with thresholds a factor of 2 lower than Nd:YAG and with greater slope efficiencies. Thus, the first step in the development of new oscillators suitable for application in high data rate laser communication systems which surpass the present performance of the Nd:YAG laser has been successfully demonstrated.
