ABSTRACT:
A change in the wavelength of a laser beam is achieved by causing the beam to have a conical wavefront and applying it to a nonlinear crystal so that the beam converges along the center axis producing an output beam of a different wavelength. The conical wavefront is achieved in wavefront conversion means by use of lenses, mirrors and crystals with conical surfaces. Adjustability is provided by diverging the beam first and then converging it, with adjustment in the spacing between the divergence means and convergence means of a wavefront conversion means.
