Abstract
We report a new configuration for an intracavity frequency-doubled Cr-doped LiSrAIF(6) (Cr:LiSAF) solid state laser, by inserting a nonlinear crystal of LiB3O5 (LBO) for second harmonic generation (SHG). By applying a highly reflective coating on LBO crystal, blue light of 67.8 mW was obtained. The slope efficiency of the Cr:LiSAF laser was 39.2% and the continuously tunab le wavelength range by a birefringent filter was 113 nm.
