Solid-State Blue Laser Source.
Abstract
A blue laser source outputting a beam having a wavelength of approximately 460 nm. A first laser cavity is formed around a Nd:YAG gain medium generating a first light beam having a wavelength of approximately 1064 nm. A second laser cavity, at least partially coextensive with the first laser cavity is formed around a Tm:ZBLAN gain medium generating a second light beam having a wavelength of approximately 810 nm. A nonlinear KTP crystal is provided intracavity to both the first and second laser cavities to mix the first light beam and the second light beam and output a third light beam having a wavelength of approximately 460 nm. One of the mirrors forming the first or second laser cavity is coated to output a laser beam having a wavelength of approximately 460 nm.
