  • Abstract
    This paper reports, for the first time, the realization of linearly polarized high pulse energy (3 mJ) using <;110>; cut Cr :YAG. Its second harmonic conversion resulted in 6 MW peak power at 532 nm. Second harmonic conversion is performed by using a 3x3x10 mm type I critical phase matched (CPM) LBO cut at θ = 90°, φ= 12.5°.
