Continuous-wave operation at $588\mathrm{nm}$ of a diode-pumped $\mathrm{Nd}:{\mathrm{GdVO}}_4$ laser with intracavity Raman shifting [in $\mathrm{KGd}({\mathrm{WO}}_4{)}_2$ , KGW] and frequency-doubling (in ${\mathrm{LiB}}_3{\mathrm{O}}_5$ , LBO) is reported. A maximum cw power at $588\mathrm{nm}$ of $704\mathrm{mW}$ was obtained for diode pump powers of $13.7\mathrm{W}$ . Quasi-cw yellow powers up to $1.57\mathrm{W}$ at a 50% duty cycle (to reduce thermal load in the laser crystal) indicate that power scaling to over $1\mathrm{W}$ is feasible.
