The wavelength, angle, and temperature tolerances of a new room-temperature noncritically phase-matched frequency mixing process involving type II frequency mixing of 1064 and 809 nm radiation in potassium titanyl phosphate (KTiOPO/sub 4/) are measured. The angular and temperature bandwidths are found to be unusually wide. Device applications for upconversion of diode pumped neodymium:yttrium aluminum garnet laser sources to the blue spectral region are explored.
