Abstract
A dual-wavelength laser system with intracavity, sum-frequency mixing including a bifurcated resonant cavity having a first arm, a second arm and a common arm; a first laser element located in the first arm for providing a first input laser beam of a first wavelength; a second laser element located in the second arm for providing a second input laser beam of a second wavelength; a nonlinear-mixing element in the common arm; and a beam combining device for combining the first and second beams and submitting them to the nonlinear-mixing element for providing an output laser beam of a third wavelength whose energy is the sum of the energy of the input laser beams.
