Optical frequency-converting medium pumped by unstable resonator semiconductor laser

A high-power unstable resonator semiconductor laser (14) emits optical output of greater than 50 mW in a wavelength range of 700-1100 nm. A grating (116,136) may be positioned external to URSL (14) to control the spectral bandwidth and wavelength output of the waveguide pumping beam (74). Alternativ...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A high-power unstable resonator semiconductor laser (14) emits optical output of greater than 50 mW in a wavelength range of 700-1100 nm. A grating (116,136) may be positioned external to URSL (14) to control the spectral bandwidth and wavelength output of the waveguide pumping beam (74). Alternatively, URSL (14) may be fabricated with a distributed feedback (DFB) grating or a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR). Infrared waveguide pumping beam (74) generated by such a high-power unstable resonator semiconductor laser (14) is coupled into a nonlinear waveguide (28) and converted to visible or near ultraviolet output (100) through the process of second-harmonic generation.
