Abstract
The optimum pump condition for a fiber-coupled diode end-pumped NYAB l aser has been determined by including the effect of pump beam quality into the analysis. Under the optimum pump condition, 67 mW of the gree n laser output corresponding to a conversion efficiency 10.3% was obta ined from a self frequency-doubling NYAB crystal when pumped by a 650 mW fiber-coupled laser diode. The prospect of higher conversion effici ency is also discussed.
