ABSTRACT:
A system, a structure, and a method for the generation of second harmonic light are provided. A laser system comprises a seed laser that produces a fundamental frequency light, and a nonresonant multiple pass nonlinear structure generates a second harmonic light using the fundamental frequency light. A second harmonic outcoupler outputs the second harmonic light from the laser system and a reflecting structure reflects a remaining portion of the fundamental frequency light back into the nonresonant multiple pass nonlinear structure to generate additional second harmonic light.
