摘要：

A Nd:YAG/KNbO3 composite-material microchip laser has generated blue radiation at 473 nm with output powers of 1 mW when diode laser pumped and 9 mW when Ti:sapphire laser pumped. The fundamental radiation generated by the quasi-three-level F-4(3/2)-I-4(9/2) transition in Nd:YAG at 946 nm was frequency doubled in KNbO3 angle cut to be type I critically phase matched at 45 degrees C. Despite the normally isotropic nature of Nd:YAG, the fundamental is emitted linearly polarized and orthogonal to the linearly polarized blue radiation. (C) 1996 Optical Society of America
