Abstract :
A 6 W average power at 772 nm is achieved by using a fibre integrated optical modulator for seeding of a 10 W erbium fibre amplifier followed by 64% efficient second-harmonic generation in PPKTP. The source benefits from a compact, efficient, fibre-based format and high overall efficiency
