ABSTRACT
An actively Q-switched eye-safe orthogonally-polarized dual-wavelength intracavity Raman laser was demonstrated for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. The gain balanced dual-wavelength operation at 1314 and 1321 nm within an in-band pumped NdYLF laser was realized by slightly titling the cavity mirrors. Owing to the KGW bi-axial properties, two sets of simultaneous orthogonally-polarized dual-wavelength Raman lasers at 1470, 1490 nm and 1461, 1499 nm were achieved by simply rotating the KGW crystal for 90°, respectively. With an incident pump power of 30 W and an optimized pulse repetition frequency of 5 kHz, the maximum dual-wavelength Raman output powers of 2.6 and 2.4 W were obtained with the pulse widths of 5.8 and 6.3 ns, respectively, corresponding to the peak powers up to 89.7 and 76.5 kW.
