Abstract

A diode-pumped solid-state Nd:YAG laser with frequency doubling in a KTP crystal radiating at 532 nm has been designed for use in laser displacement interferometry and in a secondary frequency standard. The third-harmonic signals of the transitions of hyperfine structure of molecular iodine have been observed.
