Single-pass frequency doubling of laser diodes extends the wavelength range of infrared laser diodes to blue-green wavelengths. The authors describe the first experiments of frequency doubling of a coherent, high-power, monolithic master oscillator power amplifier (M-MOPA) laser diode. The output from a 1-W M-MOPA is frequency doubled in a single pass through an 8.2-mm-long KNbO[sub 3] crystal. They obtained 3.7-mW diffraction-limited output power at a wavelength of 491 nm and demonstrated modulation at 20 MHz.
