Abstract

A three-color coherent light system includes a laser source for generating a laser beam in the 1000-1100 nm wavelength region; means, responsive to the laser source, for generating the second harmonic of the laser beam; an optical parametric oscillator for providing a signal beam and an idler beam; means for splitting the second harmonic of the laser beam into a first beam for providing a source of coherent green light and a second beam for pumping the optical parametric oscillator to produce the signal and idler beams; means for generating the second harmonic of the signal beam as a source of coherent blue light; and means for generating the second harmonic of the idler beam as a source of coherent red light.
