摘要
This paper reports on a mode-locked InGaAs master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system that generates at 920 nm 14-ps-long pulses with a repetition rate of 4.3 GHz and an average power of 2.7 W. Single-pass frequency doubling in a periodically poled KTP crystal provides 550 mW of blue 460-nm radiation. The power of the blue output, which corresponds to a conversion efficiency of more than 20%, was optimized by a detailed investigation of the influence of various system parameters like injection current and repetition rate on pulse power, pulse duration, and spectral shape of the infrared laser pulses.
