Efficient second harmonic conversion (70%--80%) using Type II and Type I crystals is demonstrated with 400-fs, 1.053-{micro}m laser pulses at intensities up to several hundreds of GW/cm{sup 2}. The experimental results generally agree with the predictions of the code MIXER. For the Type II predelay scheme, evidence is obtained of pulse shortening down to {approximately}100 fs.
