Abstract

Power output and power conversion efficiency of an intracavity non-linear optical laser is substantially increased by reducing the effect of thermal focussing per unit of pump energy enabling a stable resonator cavity at high input powers by utilizing a closely coupled reflector, multi-gain media configuration, and various pump source filters and/or semiconductor laser diode pumping.
