Abstract
Light at 430 nm is generated by frequency doubling the high peak power output of a mode-locked compound cavity laser based on a tapered GaAl As amplifier. The laser generated a peak 860 nm power of 12.7 W and pu lse energy of 450 pJ. Using a 7.1 mm KNbO3 CrYStal, 45 mW of average b lue light power was produced with a peak power of 1.6 W, minimum pulse length of 8.5 ps, and pulse energy of 30 pJ.
