Objective Compact,high-power,low-cost yellow lasers at~589 nm have potential in dermatological applications.There is no solid-state gain medium that can directly lase at 589 nm,so nonlinear frequency conversion of nearinfrared laser is an indispensable technology.The yellow solid laser is usually generated by sum mixing from two Nd∶YAG lasers at 1064 nm and 1319 nm,which the multiple-cavity systems are too complex to use.Yb-doped silica fiber has gain at 1178 nm,but lasing at this wavelength is difficult.So,the Raman fiber laser and amplifier are known for their unique advantage of flexibility in wavelength.The common frequency doubling method employs an external enhancement cavity to achieve high-efficiency and high-power frequency doubling.Nevertheless,it adds complexity to the laser system.In this article,we report a compact,low-cost,high-power,narrow-linewidth yellow laser by single-pass frequency doubling of a cascaded Raman fiber laser in a periodically poled MgO-doped nearstoichiometric LiTaO3 crystal(PPSLT).Up to 10.19-W 589-nm laser is obtained with a conversion efficiency of 18.12%,which is limited by the fundamental laser linewidth.To the best of our knowledge,this laser system has the simplest structure,is the easiest to operate,and is the most suitable for commercial use.Methods The experimental configuration of the yellow fiber-based laser is shown in Fig.1,including three functionally different parts—a 1070 nm fiber laser used as a Raman pump source,a cascaded Raman fiber laser,and a single-pass frequency doubling device.The 1070-nm source is a conventional fiber Bragg grating(FBG)-based fiber oscillator.The gain fiber is 10/125-μm polarization-maintaining(PM)Yb-doped fiber(YDF).Using one1070/1120-nm wavelength division multiplexing(WDM),the generated 1070 nm laser is coupled into the cascaded Raman oscillator,which comprised PM980 gain fiber and two pairs of FBGs with wavelengths of 1120 nm and1178 nm,respectively.The 1120 nm FBG had a high reflection,which could improve the conversion effici
