Abstract

We demonstrate a simple pulsed laser design with a potentially high efficiency for high harmonics generation. The basic idea is to generate pulsed laser operation with a resonantly oscillating piezo-electric crystal made of LiTaO₃ or LiNbO₃, i.e. Q-switching with a Single Crystal Photo-Elastic Modulators (SCPEM). The pulsed mode operation shows 30 (internal SHG) to 50 (external SHG) times higher green power than the cw-mode operation with a maximum green output of 290mW.
