چکیده
We report 32% efficient frequency doubling of single-frequency 1029 nm light to green light at 514.5 nm using a single-pass configuration. A congruent composition, periodically poled magnesium-doped lithium niobate (PPMgLN) crystal of 50 mm length was used to generate a second-harmonic power of 2.3 W. To our knowledge, this is the highest reported power and efficiency achieved in the second-harmonic generation of single-frequency green light in a single-pass configuration.

1.5 W green light generation by single-pass second harmonic generation of a single-frequency tapered diode laser.
More than 1.5 W of green light at 531 nm is generated by single-pass second harmonic generation in periodically poled MgO:LiNbO3. The pump laser is a high power tapered laser with a distributed Bragg reflector etched in the ridge section of the laser to provide wavelength selectivity. The output power of the single-frequency tapered laser is 9.3 W in continuous wave operation. A conversion effi...
متن کامل1.9 W yellow, CW, high-brightness light from a high efficiency semiconductor laser-based system
Semiconductor lasers are ideal sources for efficient electrical-to-optical power conversion and for many applications where their small size and potential for low cost are required to meet market demands. Yellow lasers find use in a variety of bio-related applications, such as photocoagulation, imaging, flow cytometry, and cancer treatment. However, direct generation of yellow light from semico...
متن کاملGeneration of single-frequency tunable green light in a coupled ring tapered diode laser cavity.
We report the realization of a tapered diode laser operated in a coupled ring cavity that significantly improves the coherence properties of the tapered laser and efficiently generates tunable light at the second harmonic frequency. The tapered diode laser is tunable with single-frequency output in the broad wavelength range from 1049 nm to 1093 nm and the beam propagation factor is improved fr...
متن کاملW of diffraction - limited green light at 515 nm from SHG of a single - frequency tapered diode laser
Multi-Watt efficient compact green laser sources are required for a number of applications e.g. within biophotonics, laser pumping and laser displays. We present generation of 3.5 W of diffraction-limited green light at 515 nm by second harmonic generation (SHG) of a tapered diode laser, itself yielding more than 9 W at 1030 nm. SHG is performed in single pass through a cascade of two nonlinear...
