Abstract :
Summary from only given. We report on the generation of powerful picosecond laser pulses in the red (671 nm) and blue (447 nm) spectral range by second and third harmonic generation of a mode-locked Nd:YVO/sub 4/-laser operating at 1342 nm. The nonlinear crystals used for both the second and third harmonic are periodically poled quasi-phase-matched KTP-crystals (pp-KTP).
