Powerful red-green-blue laser source pumped with a mode-locked thin disk laser

Opt Lett. 2004 Aug 15;29(16):1921-3. doi: 10.1364/ol.29.001921.

Abstract

We present a red-green-blue laser source with average powers of 8 W in the red, 23 W in the green, and 10.1 W in the blue. The entire pump power for the nonlinear conversion stages is provided by a single laser oscillator without any amplifier stages. Our system does not require any synchronized cavities, and all nonlinear crystals except one are critically phase matched at room temperature.
