Abstract

A diode-pumped all-solid-state laser system provides simultaneously red (R), green (G) and blue (B) laser light with output powers of 7.1 W at 629 nm, 6.9 W at 532 nm and 5.0 W at 446 nm. The superposition of the RGB radiation generates white light with a power of 19 W. The RGB output corresponds to an optical efficiency of 17% regarding the system´s total diode pump power of 110 W. The system is based on a mode-locked Nd:YVO₄ laser system, and a synchronously pumped near IR optical parametric oscillator
