Blue Light Source Based on a ppKTP SHG Using a Grating-Coupled Laser Diode

In this letter, we present the first experimental results of a single-pass second-harmonic (SH) generation from a grating-coupled surface-emitting laser (GCSEL) with integrated dual-grating reflector. In pulse operation, the maximum SH peak power was obtained at 0.66 W, yielding a normalized convers...

Summary:In this letter, we present the first experimental results of a single-pass second-harmonic (SH) generation from a grating-coupled surface-emitting laser (GCSEL) with integrated dual-grating reflector. In pulse operation, the maximum SH peak power was obtained at 0.66 W, yielding a normalized conversion efficiency of 0.6times10 -3 W -1 . A high-level monolithical integration of the GCSEL device led to a compact blue light source, which was based on a frequency-doubled near-IR laser diode.
