Abstract
Fifty milliwatts of green (532 nm) fundamental spatial mode light have been generated by a continuous wave, frequency doubled microchip lase r, consisting of a 0.5 mm thick piece of Nd:YVO4 in intimate optical c ontact with a 2 mm thick piece of KTP, and pumped by a laser diode arr ay immediately behind the microchip. The initially nominally plano/pla no cavity produced a near diffraction limited fundamental output beam at all pump powers.
