Abstract :
The efficiency of surface emitting second harmonic generators can be significantly increased by resonating the second harmonic field in a vertical cavity structure. These resonant devices can be several orders of magnitude more efficient than similar nonresonant devices. Milliwatt visible outputs can be expected for tens of milliwatts of infra-red input in a doubly resonant structure for reasonable device parameters.
