Abstract
Diffraction limited emission of a GaAlAs tapered amplifier seeded by a laser diode is frequency doubled in a 12.4-mm-long KNbO3 crystal to g enerate 62 mW of 429 nm continuous wave emission, corresponding to a c onversion efficiency of 1.1%/W cm. Reductions in the conversion effici ency due to nonuniform temperature distribution caused by blue-enhance d infrared absorption were characterized.
