Abstract

Compact solid-state blue laser have great potential for use in optical data storage, laser beam printing, particle countering, reprographics, holography, and fluorescent bioanalysis. We report recent progresses in qualities of LiB₃O₅ and K₃Li₂ (Ta_xNb_1-x)₅O₁₅ nonlinear crystal which are essential in manufacturing bulk-type blue SHG devices. We also review newly developed violet-blue laser, 20 mW output, using intracavity frequency doubling of a diode laser pumped Cr:LiSrAlF₆ laser with low loss LiB₃O₅ crystal as a frequency doubler.
