30  W single-frequency continuous-wave master oscillator power amplifier laser at 1342  nm

We present a power-scalable high-power single-frequency continuous-wave 1342 nm master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system that consists of a polarized single-frequency 1342 nm LD seed laser, a Raman fiber preamplifier, and a three-stage ${\rm Nd}:{{\rm YVO}_4}$Nd:YVO₄ power amplifier. The single-frequency output power of 30 W at 1342 nm is achieved with the beam quality factors ${{\rm M}^{2\:}} = {1}.{26}$M²=1.26, and the power stability for 1 h is better than ${\pm }\;{0}.{5}\% $±0.5%.
