Abstract :
Summary form only given. This paper reports on the development of visible, all solid state laser sources which are based on frequency doubled infrared diode lasers or diode pumped solid state lasers with nonlinear frequency conversion. The diode pumped solid state lasers are passively mode-locked Nd:YVO/sub 4/ oscillator amplifier systems which generate 7 ps long pulses with a repetition rate of 80 MHZ and an average power of up to 40 W.
