High Power SHG Laser System for 671nm — •Manuel Jäger, Daniel Hoffmann, Thomas Paintner, Wladimir Schoch, Wolfgang Limmer, and Johannes Hecker Denschlag — Institut für Quantenmaterie, Universität Ulm, Deutschland

High-power, stable, single mode lasers have developed into important prerequisites for cold atom production and manipulation. We have built up a narrow-linewidth (< 2 MHz) all-solid-state laser source at 671nm which can be stabilized to the D2 line of 6Li and provides an output power of 1.1 watt. The construction is based on a design of the group of Christophe Salomon [1,2]. The laser system is based on a ring laser at a wavelength of 1342nm which is frequency-doubled in a cavity.

The ring laser consists of a diode-pumped Nd:YVO4 crystal inside a bow-tie cavity. By using frequency-selective elements we can stabilize the laser for single mode emission and reach an output power of 3-4 watt.

We frequency-double this light using a ppMgO:LN crystal, which features a high conversion efficiency. To increase the second harmonic generation this crystal is placed in an enhancement cavity in bow-tie configuration.
