Abstract :
We have generated 107-mW green-light emission by frequency doubling of a reliable 1060-nm distributed feedback (DFB) laser diode using a periodically poled MgO-doped lithium niobate waveguide in the most compact single-pass configuration. The green power variation is lower than 1% at frequencies below 82 kHz. The relative intensity noise of -150 dB/Hz has been measured at 100 MHz. We also report 5000-h life-test results of 1060-nm DFB lasers at 80°C.
