Generation of high-power blue light in periodically-poled LiNbO<sub>3</sub> (PPLN)
We report the generation of 450mW average blue (473nm) power by frequency-doubling of a diode-pumped 946nm Nd:YAG laser. Pulsed operation at high repetition rate (~160 kHz) was achieved by driving the relaxation oscillations of the laser. A 40% conversion efficiency to the second harmonic is obtaine...
