Abstract: Apparatus and method for producing coherent blue-green-light radiation having a wavelength of essentially 490-500 nm. A diode laser (10), such as a strained-layer InGaAs/GaAs diode laser, provides a 980-1,000 nm beam (12), and a nonlinear crystal (19) of KTP (KTiOPO4) produces coherent radiation (22) by noncritically phase-matched second-harmonic generation (SHG) of said beam. The beam preferably has a wavelength of essentially 994 nm for generating radiation having a wavelength of essentially 497 nm. The crystal is disposed within an optical resonator (18) and the frequency of the laser is locked to that of the resonator. Alternatively, two diode lasers (10,11) are oriented to provide orthogonally polarized beams each with a wavelength of 980-1,000 nm but within essentially 1 nm of each other, and the KTP crystal is oriented with its a and c axes parallel to the orthogonally polarized beams. The KTP crystal may have an associated optical waveguide along which the beam is propagated to enhance SHG efficiency.

Abstract: A first section of a waveguide channel 20 is made of a nonlinear crystal material. A second section of the waveguide has a plurality of diverging channels 22. Each of the diverging channels is of a width which supports one of the modes of second harmonic generated light from the first section. First order mode second harmonic light is obtained at the end of one of the diverging channels.

Abstract: A laser diode with a low reflectivity output facet provides infrared light to a nonlinear crystal resonator such that a portion of the infrared light is converted to blue light. A mirror is located on the opposite side of the nonlinear crystal resonator from the laser. The mirror allows the blue light to pass, but reflects the infrared light exiting the resonator back through the resonator and into the laser diode. The laser diode is thereby locked at the resonance frequency of the nonlinear crystal resonator.
