  • Abstract
    The effect on intracavity optical second-harmonic generation of additional laser transitions that compete for population inversion with the principal line is considered. It is shown that these transitions can limit the amount of harmonic generated unless some form of frequency-selective loss is provided. Parametric effects due to the presence of the second-harmonic radiation are also considered.
