    A kind of all-solid-state Nd∶YVO4-LBO dual-wavelength laser with low noise and continuous wave (CW) single frequency is developed. By optimizing the matching temperature of LBO crystals, a CW single-frequency dual-wavelength laser with 1.06 μm output power of 3.8 W and 532 nm output power of 7.8 W is realized. The intensity and phase noises of this dual-wavelength laser are also reduced. The measured intensity noises of the 1.06 μm and 532 nm lasers reach the shot noise limit (SNL) when the analysis frequency is above 3.5 MHz, and the measured phase noises reach the SNL when the analysis frequency is above 5 MHz. When the Pound-Drever-Hall cavity-locking technique is used for the stabilization of laser cavity length, the frequency drift of 1.06 μm laser is less than ±0.8 MHz. The measured power fluctuations of the 1.06 μm and 532 nm lasers within 5 hours are less than ±0.63% and ±0.47%, and the beam quality factors are 1.04 and 1.12, respectively.
