ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for generating light at a second harmonic of an input light at a fundamental frequency/wavelength. Light at the fundamental frequency/wavelength is generated by a laser and impinges upon an input end of an optical fiber. The optical fiber has a non-linear optical characteristic and generates a second harmonic of the input light. The second harmonic which exits the fiber has an axisymmetrical and conical equiphase wave surface. A collimator lens collimates the second harmonic and parallel light rays are produced on the output side of the lens.
