description A 16.1 W continuous-wave balanced intensity dual-frequency laser based on an <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${\rm{Nd:\,YVO}}_{\rm{4}}$</tex-math></inline-formula> microchip seed laser, together with a two-stage laser amplifier, was demonstrated. In order to obtain such a high-power dual-frequency laser as well as a balanced intensity distribution of the dual-mode, the seed laser wavelength was precisely tuned to spectrally match with the gain curve of the amplifier by employing a temperature controller. Finally, when the heat sink temperature of the amplifier crystal was kept at 30.0 &#x00B0;C, the dual-mode seed laser operated at 16.0 &#x00B0;C was amplified from 284.5&#x00A0;mW to 16.1&#x00A0;W with a balanced intensity distribution, and frequency separation was measured as 53.2&#x00A0;GHz.
