Abstract:
A laser device for intra-cavity frequency conversion, in particular, for the second harmonic generation, the device comprising a laser cavity, formed by the first and the second laser cavity end reflectors wherein the said laser cavity end reflectors are highly reflective for the radiation about the laser fundamental frequency and as such provide for a predetermined level of circulating inside the cavity fundamental frequency power; an active medium provided within the said laser cavity; at least one non-linear crystal, in particular, for the second harmonic generation provided within the same laser cavity; tuning means adapted for tuning at least one of laser cavity end reflectors; wherein at least one of the laser cavity end reflectors comprises an interferometric layout providing spectrally selective reflection for the radiation about the laser fundamental frequency with the value of reflectivity nearly to 100% within a spectral range close to the free spectrum range of the laser cavity and with a sufficiently lower reflectivity outside the above spectral range such that the laser cavity restricts the spectrum of the laser radiation to a single longitudinal mode.
