Measured UV output vs. laser capacity of fundamental output. 477 nm and d,, = -2.2 d,(KDP), respectively.It can be easily grown in large size from its congruent melting with so-called top-seeding method. A 5-mm CLBO crystal is used for Type-I critically phasematched SHG at 800 nm in our experiment. Experimental results will be described in the meeting.

Low Noise Blue Light Generation of Intracavity Frequency Doubled LD Pumped Cr:LiSAF Laser by Single Mode Method

“…In SHG lasers in the blue region, the generation of blue light at 473 nm [3] in KN (KNbO 3 ) crystals with a 946-nm fundamental wave from a Nd:YAG (Y 3 Al 5 O 12 ) crystal, and from Cr:Li-SAF (LiSrAlF 6 ) crystal in combination with LIO (LiIO 3 ) [4], KN [5], and LBO (LiB 3 O 5 ) crystals [6], has been reported. The authors have developed and fabricated an internal resonator-type blue-light SHG light source [7,8] at 430 nm using a combination of Cr:LiSAF and LBO crystals, and there are hopes of achieving further increases in output.…”
