Abstract

Single-pass frequency doubling of laser diodes extends the wavelength range of infrared laser diodes to blue-green wavelengths. We describe the first experiments of frequency doubling of a coherent, high-power, monolithic master oscillator power amplifier (M-MOPA) laser diode. The output from a l-W M-MOPA is frequency doubled in a single pass through an 8.2-mm-long KNbO/sub 3/ crystal. We obtained 3.7-mW diffraction-limited output power at a wavelength of 491 nm and modulation at 20 MHz was demonstrated.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
