Abstract
Continuouswave operation of a diodepumped NdYVO4 laser with selffrequency Raman conversion is demonstrated The threshold of Raman generation was measured to be 13 W of laser diode power The maximum output power of Stokes radiation at the wavelength of 1177 nm was up to 50 mW at a laser diode pump power of 23 W corresponding to the slope efficiency of 5 The beam quality M2 of the Stokes radiation was about 14 The fluctuations of the Stokes power were minimised down to 4
