Abstract: As one hot spot in the field of laser research, yellow lasers have achieved fruitful research results and extensive application. With the development of self-Raman crystal, which can be used as laser crystal and Raman crystal at the same time, the research upsurge of self-Raman yellow lasers has been set off gradually. The research progress of solid self-Raman yellow lasers in recent ten years is summarized. According to the way of laser operation, yellow lasers are divided into continuous lasers and pulsed lasers. By classifying and comparing the advantages and disadvantages of lasers with different working modes, it is clear that future research trend of self-Raman yellow laser would adopt multiple methods. The characteristics of compact structure, low threshold and so on will make yellow lasers have great potential in the field of biological medicine. Future research will focus on high conversion, high stability, low cost and miniaturization. The study provides the reference for the future research direction.
