Abstract :
A diode-pumped Nd:YVO4 laser operating at 1342 nm and intracavity doubled has been developed. Employing a type II noncritically phase-matched LiB3O5 (LBO) crystal, we generated 430 mW at 671 nm in single transverse mode. Operating at ≈85% of the maximum output power we also selected a single axial mode
