“…For the purpose of preparation of tunable nonclassical light at 894.6 nm of Cs D 1 line, a frequency tunable 447.3 nm laser is necessary as a pump beam for parametric down-conversion. Blue lasers at 447.3 nm were investigated by intra-and extra-cavity frequency doublings of Cs vapor laser with PPKTP, BiBO, and LBO crystals [23][24][25], of which a maximum power up to 1 W was obtained with a conversion efficiency of 14%. These systems were operated in the pulse mode with broader linewidth, which limits the potential applications in developing continuous-wave resources.…”

A continuous single-frequency tunable blue laser at 447.3 nm is developed by external-cavity frequency doubling of a tapered amplifier-boosted continuous-wave diode laser at cesium (Cs) D1 line. A maximum blue power of 178 mW with 50.8% conversion efficiency is obtained. It can be continuously tuned over a range around 1.6 GHz as the diode laser frequency is scanned across the F=4→F^'=3 transition of ¹³³Cs D1 line. The generated tunable and stable blue laser source has potential applications in constructing quantum light-atom interfaces in quantum networks.
