We investigate the room-temperature Raman spectrum of monoclinic monazite-type LaVO_4(m-LaVO_4)crystal and report a diode end-pumped intracavity actively Q-switched m-LaVO_4 Raman laser.In this experiment,a fiber-coupled diode laser(LD)with a wavelength of 808 nm is used as a pumping excitation source,a Nd…YAG crystal is used as a gain medium for generating a fundamental-frequency laser,and a quartz-acoustic-acoustic Qswitch is used as an active Q-switched component.A compact Fabry-Perot cavity composed by ...
