Objective At present,distributed Bragg reflector(DBR),distributed feedback(DFB)laser,or external cavity diode laser(ECDL)is usually used to realize a tunable single-frequency laser output in 1.3μm.However,the output power of these diode lasers is as low as several mW.Some studies used a 1.3-μm laser for an effective selective atom stimulation;hence,a higher output power of the lasers was needed.This work presents an injection-locked Nd∶YVO_(4) ring laser that can effectively improve the power of a CW single-frequency 1342-nm laser with wavelength tuning.The amplified 1342-nm laser retains most of the spectral characteristics of the seed laser.This injection-locked Nd∶YVO_(4) ring laser has the advantages of high gain and high beam quality and is very easy to realize.As a consequence of the high power,the doubling frequency of 1342 nm(671-nm red light)and the quadruple frequency(336-nm UV light)can be obtained more easily for some other works.Methods An injection-locked Nd∶YVO_(4) ring laser was studied herein.Three modules were considered,namely the seed laser,the laser amplifier,and the Pound-Drever-Hall(PDH)frequency locking system.The seed laser provides the injection source.While the PDH system is being unlocked,the seed laser is reflected away from the cavity because it does not match the resonant conditions of the power cavity.Conversely,while the PDH system is locked,the seed light can be injected into the amplifier cavity and effectively amplified.In this work,a seed laser with output power of the order of mW,good beam quality,and good stability was used.After the injection-locked amplification,the laser retained the spectral characteristics of the seed light,including the single longitudinal mode and the adjustable wavelength.Meanwhile,the laser energy and the beam quality were improved.In this study,a tunable 1.0 W CW single-frequency 1342-mm laser was used as the seed light,and an 8-type ring resonator was used as the amplifier cavity.The injection-locked Nd∶YVO_(4) ring laser was realized,ba
