67-mW Continuous-Wave Blue Light Generation by Intracavity Frequency Doubling of a Diode Pumped Cr:LiSrAlF 6 Laser

We report a new configuration for an intracavity frequency-doubled Cr-doped LiSrAlF 6 (Cr:LiSAF) solid state laser, by inserting a nonlinear crystal of LiB 3 O 5 (LBO) for second harmonic generation (SHG). By applying a highiy reflective coating on LBO crystal, blue light of 67.8 mW was obtained. Th...

Description
Summary:We report a new configuration for an intracavity frequency-doubled Cr-doped LiSrAlF 6 (Cr:LiSAF) solid state laser, by inserting a nonlinear crystal of LiB 3 O 5 (LBO) for second harmonic generation (SHG). By applying a highiy reflective coating on LBO crystal, blue light of 67.8 mW was obtained. The slope efficiency of the Cr:LiSAF laser was 39.2% and the continuously tunable wavelength range by a birefringent filter was 113 nm.
