Yellow and green picosecond pulse sources using frequency doubling of Yb fiber pumps in periodically poled waveguides

532-nm and 560-nm picosecond pulse sources are demonstrated utilizing second-harmonic generation in periodically-poled KTP waveguides. The pumps were based on ytterbium-doped fiber systems, with wavelength extension to 1.12 /spl mu/m through Raman scattering in the yellow case.
