In this experiment, a diode-pumped Nd:YAG solid-state laser is set up with different resonators. Besides the fundamental wavelength of 1064nm, a KTP crystal is used for frequency doubling into the visible green spectral range. Characteristics such as mode profile, divergence, beam parameter product, output power and efficiency are investigated.

In this experiment, knowledge about laser safety and the active working and adjustment of optical setups is taught.
