Compact continuous-wave blue laser at 488 nm with a LBO crystal

A compact continuous-wave blue laser at 488 nm, with the maximum output exceeding 25 mW, is demonstrated by direct frequency doubling of a laser diode (LD) with a LBO crystal. Based on the experiments , a compact all - solid state 488 nm blue laser with continuous wave output is made. We present the development and demonstration of tunable high-power blue-green (around 488 nm) laser by using intracavity frequency doubling of a tunable high-power high-brightness external-cavity emitting laser.
