Abstract :
Dual wavelength compact microlaser operation is demonstrated in the cw regime using a c-cut Nd doped GdVO4 crystal. More than 200mW is obtained at these two wavelengths which are separated by 2.2nm leading to potential generation of 0.6THz radiation with this compact low-cost optical source.
