Popis: The authors demonstrate noise reduction which has been attained in a diode-pumped intracavity-doubled Nd:YAG laser by using a novel birefringent filter formed by a Brewster plate and a birefringent KTP crystal. It is confirmed that single longitudinal mode operation is obtained by the birefringent filter. As a result, the relative intensity noise obtained is less than -135 dB Hz. This noise reduction technique should play an important role for application of laser-diode pumped intracavity-doubled solid-state lasers. >
