Efficient frequency doubling of a self-starting additive-pulse mode-locked diode pumped Nd:YAG laser

Using a 1W laser diode pump, a Nd:YAG laser has been passively mode locked using a coupled nonlinear external cavity to give a stable train of 2.0 ps pulses at an average power of 110 mW. This output has been frequency doubled with an overall energy conversion efficiency of 56%, using MgO:LiNbO<s...
