Abstract
Comparison of the conversion efficiency for efficient second-harmonic generation of Nd:YAG laser radiation is reported for KDP, LAP, KTP, BB O and LBO crystals. Conversion efficiencies as high as 50% and 46% wer e obtained for our laboratory-grown KDP and LAP crystals respectively, for power densities well below their damage thresholds.
