Abstract
We generated efficient blue laser output at by intracavity frequency doubling of a continuous-wave (cw) diode-pumped (Nd:YLF) laser at based on the transition. With of incident pump power at and the frequency-doubling crystal , a level as high as of cw output power at is achieved, corresponding to an optical conversion efficiency of 13.2% with respect to the incident pump power. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first blue laser at generated by intracavity frequency doubling of a diode-pumped Nd:YLF.
