Abstract

We report a continuous-wave (CW) self-frequency-doubling blue laser at 468 nm by a diodepumped Nd3+:YCa4O(BO3)3 (Nd:YCOB) laser. With 14.3 W of diode pump power, a maximum output power of 211 mW in the blue spectral range at 468 nm has been achieved. The beam quality M2 values were equal to 1.16 and 1.23 in X and Y directions, respectively. The output power stability over 30 min is better than 5%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest power laser at 468 nm generated by self-frequency doubling of a diode pumped Nd:YCOB laser.
