Abstract
A dual-wavelength continuous-wave (CW) diode end-pumped Nd3+:YAlO3 (Nd:YAP) laser that generates simultaneous laser action at the wavelengths 1064 and 930 nm is demonstrated. A total output power of 2.15 W (1.57 W at 1064 nm and 0.58 W at 930 nm) for the dual-wavelength was achieved at the incident pump power of 17.8 W with optical conversion efficiency of 12.1%. The M 2 values for 930 and 1064 nm lights were found to be around 1.21 and 1.32, respectively.
