OSTI ID:7126981
Using lithium iodate crystals, second-harmonic generation of chemical oxygen/iodine laser (COIL) light (gamma = 1.315 mircometers) was demonstrated for the first time. Both a photolytic iodine laser and a COIL were used. For the photolytic iodine laser, 320 mW of red output in 40-microsecond pulses was generated in an extracavity configuration at a conversion efficiency of 2.1 x 10/sup 5/. With the COIL device, 60 mW of average second harmonic power was observed at an overall conversion efficiency of 1% when the crystal was placed intracavity. In both cases, experimental second-harmonic powers were in good agreement with theoretical values.
