Abstract :
We report on high efficiency resonant doubling at 486nm using periodically poled KTP. A stable blue power of 700 ± 5 mW was obtained using the 840 mW output power of a FBG stabilized PM fiber coupled IR semiconductor laser. This gives an overall conversion efficiency of 83%. To obtain this result, all losses in the system were carefully studied and minimized.
