Abstract :
An arrangement that allows the generation of a single-frequency beam at the second harmonic is proposed. Essentially, frequency addition is performed of two signals that are frequency modulated with equal and opposite frequency excursion. For maximum efficiency, the modulator and the nonlinear crystal are arranged inside optical resonators for fundamental and harmonic frequencies.
