Abstract :
Summary form only given. We investigated the single pass second harmonic generation of a passively mode-locked Nd:YAlO/sub 3/ laser operating at /spl lambda/ = 930 nm in a bulk periodically poled LiTaO/sub 3/ (PPLT) crystal. The Nd:YAlO/sub 3/ laser was passively mode-locked with a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) in a V-shaped cavity.
