Abstract :
This letter reports the generation of 6.1 W of red laser radiation by frequency-doubling a Nd:YAG laser operating at a wavelength of 1.319 μm with a KTP crystal. The conversion efficiency and the stability of the red output power were both improved through the suppression by means of a thin etalon of two-wavelength operation in the 1.3-μm region
