ABSTRACT:
A miniature optical source which includes at least one thin film of active laser materials having, in addition, non-linear properties. A pump laser for emitting a beam of a wavelength allowing for the pumping of the thin film of active laser material perpendicularly to the plane of the thin film. Also, an optical cavity constituted by two mirrors whose coefficients of reflection are maximum at the laser wavelength of the active laser material is further provided. The miniature optical source may find particular application in a physically compact laser emitting in the visible spectrum.
