The development of high power diode-pumped and flashlamp-pumped self-frequency doubling (SFD) lasers, such as Nd:YCOB [1], may be an attractive alternative to lasers incorporating intra-cavity doubling, with a separate nonlinear crystals. Several SFD lasers have shown efficient frequency doubling into the green [1-2]. The use of intracavity doubling in cw diode-pumped systems is of interest for efficient visible laser sources. Flashlamp-pumped intra-cavity doubled systems will allow for smooth long-pulse SFD laser systems suitable for a number of medical applications. Here we report our latest developments in high power, diode-pumped cw visible SFD laser systems and in flashlamp-pumped systems incorporating SFD crystals such as Nd: YCOB.
