A new kind of resonator for doubly resonant continuous-wave (CW) intracavity sum-frequency mixing (SFM) is presented. A coherent radiation of 327 mW at 555 nm is generated by mixing 1342-nm Nd:YVO4 laser and 946-nm Nd:YAG laser. The M2 beam quality factor of the sum-frequency mixed yellow-green laser is less than 1.7. The low-noise characteristic of the yellow laser is demonitrated.
