Highly-efficient green light generation by quasi-phase-matched frequency doubling of picosecond pulses from an amplified mode-locked Nd:YLF laser

We report on first-order quasi-phase-matched frequency doubling of picosecond pulses to the green, using a sample of periodically poled lithium niobate. In cw mode-locked operation. 330 mW of average green power was generated with an average conversion efficiency of ~52%. With a quasi-cw mode-locked...
