Abstract

We present optically pumped semiconductor disk lasers (OPSDLs) emitting in the 900–1100nm band which are frequency doubled to access the visible spectrum. In particular, we focus on presenting the design, fabrication, and specific characteristics. Fundamental outputs exceeding 20W and visible radiation with powers of 5–10W are achieved. The blue and green emission at wavelengths around 450–470 and 520–540nm yield advantageous gamuts for display applications and can be utilized for stereo projection. Moreover, other accessible wavelengths in this spectral region, e.g. 493 nm, and the good beam quality of these devices enable optical ion trapping experiments.
