is reported. 555 nm yellow-green laser is obtained using a doubly folded-cavity and type-I critical phase matching LBO crystal intracavity sum frequency mixing by 946 nm and 1 342 nm.When the incident pumped powers of Nd:YAG and Nd:YVO

crystals are 12 W and 8 W
respectively
the output power of 555 nm yellow-green laser in TEM
00
mode is 542 mW
also its power stability in 4 h is better than ±3.7%. The experimental results show that the intracavity sum-frequency mixing is an effective method for 555 nm laser and it can be applied to other two laser crystals to obtain more all-solid-state lasers with different wavelengths.
