Abstract
A blue laser at 465 nm has been demonstrated by intracavity frequency doubling of the 930 nm transition in neodymium-doped crystal of yttriu m orthoaluminate (Nd:YA1O3). The compact plano-plano laser cavity comp rising a 1.2-mm-thick Nd:YA1O(3) crystal and a 1.3 mm potassium niobat e (KNbO3) crystal generated more than 15 mW of blue power when pumped by a Ti:sapphire laser. The blue output is linearly polarized with a T EM(00) spatial profile. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics.
