摘要
We present a red-green-blue laser source with average powers of 8 W in the red, 23 W in the green, and 10.1 W in the blue. The,entire pump power for the nonlinear conversion stages is provided by a single laser oscillator without any amplifier stages. Our system does not. require any synchronized cavities, and all nonlinear crystals except one are critically phase matched at room temperature. (C) 2004 Optical Society of America
