How much green power with 1W pump?

[Low-Q]

Hi,

I have a few excess chrystals from frevious pointers, and I wonder how many mW of green laser I can get with a 1W pumping diode. I know that tiny tiny tiny chrystals quickly over heat, but what if the chrystal is suitable for 1W pumping diode? Anyone who knows? Is it some list somewhere over 808nm power vs. 532nm power?

With DPSS green, you're looking at 20-30% efficiency converting 808 to 532nm (which is actually a two step process). This means that for 1W in you'll get 200-300mW out if you have everything set up perfectly.

Check out this section of Sam's Laser FAQ. It has this info and much much more about DPSS lasers and their design/construction:
