Abstract

We report the second-harmonic generation of light using a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal pumped by a diode-pumped, broadband Yb-doped fibre laser. Generation of visible (green) continuous-wave radiation around 545 nm is demonstrated by the second harmonic generation of a free-running high efficient Yb-doped cladding-pumped fibre laser. The output power handling and conversion efficiency are also reported.
