And I do belive growing your own crystals is way more difficult than making a green laser if you have all the parts, especially when there are "do-it-yourself green laser" kits :

So far, this is just a crazy idea based on some report I read that potassium trihydrogen phosphate would be easier to make than potassium titanyl phosphate, producing blue light from Q-tripling. Corrections are welcome!

....You know these crystals have to be cleaved with nearly perfect parallel surfaces. Further more coatinghave to be applied if for lasing to happen. My knowledge is limited ....
