Abstract
A frequency converter is designed for producing efficient blue light at 0.4396 μm from a monochromatic, pulsed, 1.3188-μm Nd-doped emission line by quasi-phase-matched (QPM) second-harmonic generation (SHG), followed by sum-frequency generation, in an integrated, periodically poled KTiOPO4 (KTP) and monodomain KTP crystal. An average 55-mW (peak power of 43.0 W) blue light is achieved by us for an average 2.5-W (peak power of 2.0 kW) pump power; the overall conversion efficiency is thus 2.2%. Through polarization optimization, the same device produces an average 435 mW (peak power of 339.8 W) for the red light through QPM SHG, with a corresponding conversion efficiency of 16%. As a practical blue-light converter, the angle- and temperature-tuning characteristics and period tolerance have been fully investigated.
