Abstract

Passively mode-locked bidirectional operation of a ring diode pumped Nd:YVO₄ laser with optimized resonator design is reported. Beat note with frequency between 140 Hz and 300 Hz between two counter propagating beams was observed and its origin is explained as a result of phase modulation of the laser beam via nonlinear index of refraction n₂ of Nd:YVO₄ which was calculated.
