ABSTRACT:
Provided is a diode-pumped solid-state laser adapted for an intracavity sum-frequency mixing for generating a laser radiation of a visible wavelength range by performing a sum-frequency mixing of two laser inputs in a laser resonant cavity. A pair of laser resonators of two different wavelengths are formed along a common optical path and an intracavity sum-frequency mixing is conducted so as to obtain a laser radiation at a sum-frequency wavelength by placing a nonlinear optical crystal on this common optical path. By suitably selecting the properties of the reflective surfaces that form the laser resonators, a laser radiation of a relatively short wavelength range can be obtained even though the wavelength of the pumping laser beam is relatively long, and an extremely high conversion efficiency can be achieved.
