Ok... this is a very newbie question, but it;s been bugging me...
I know Greenies use frequency doubling with KTP/ND:YVO4 from 808nm. I also know that blue lasers use some kind of frequency doubling, but what exactly is the optic part of it all? I know for a fact that LBO is the preferred frequency doubling medium, I also know that KTP works but is far inefficient!
Some explanation and information would be much appreciated. As in the pump diode, efficiency and such.
Also, what is the same details for the yellow lasers?
Thanx;
