All-solid -state yellow lasers pumped by laser diode are developing quickly, and have great applications in laser medical, space target detection and identification, spectrum, laser display and other fields. At present, allsolid -state yellow lasers at 589nm with high power, high stability, high efficiency and high beam quality are theresearch interest in laser field. The research status and development of all-solid-state yellow lasers at 589nm were summarized and analyzed in this paper, which was useful reference for the future research in this field. Nd:YAG uses Nd3+ as the activated particle, and its main transition energy level diagram and emission cross-section parameters are shown in Figure 1, and Table 1. The Nd3+ particles located at the energy level of the laser will undergo radiation transitions to the three terminal energy levels of 4F9/2, 4F11/2 and 4F13/2 at the emission branch ratio of 0.6:0.25:0.14, emitting 946nm, 1064nm and respectively. 1 319nm fluorescence spect
