Abstract

Third-harmonic generation of a Nd:YAG laser with a nonlinear optical crystal La2CaB10O19 (LCB) is investigated. A maximum output power of 31.6 W at 355 nm is obtained. To our knowledge, this is the highest power ever obtained with LCB. The stability of the 355-nm output power at 28.5 W is observed over a period of 60 min, and the standard deviation jitter of the average power is less than 0.94 %.
