Abstract
A very compact source of laser radiation in the visible is described which uses pulsed laser diode on which is mounted a thermal transfer block having an arm for receiving the diode, and another arm for receiving a laser cavity comprising of a slab of Nd--YVO.sub.4, a second harmonic crystal such as KTP, one surface of which becomes the output coupler of the visible radiation, and one aspheric end mirror.
