All-solid-state intracavity Raman laser using a ceramic Nd:YAG laser and a KGd(WO4)2 nonlinear crystal has been
fabricated and its output characteristics has been investigated for the purpose of medical application. Yellow laser light at
the wavelength of 579 nm could be obtained by second harmonic generation of LBO crystal from the first Stokes
wavelength of 1159 nm which was converted by stimulated Raman scattering with the fundamental wavelength of
Nd:YAG laser. In the case of using output coupler of reflectivity of 95%, the maximum peak power was 230 W/pulse
with the pulse width of 9.3 ns under the condition of Q-switched mode operation. The maximum average power of about
30 mW was achieved at the pump power of 20 W.
