Abstract
We carried out the operation oran intracavity frequency-doubled self-Q-switched Nd,Cr:YAG/KNbO3 946/473 nm microchip laser pumped by a Ti:sapphire laser. The overall cavity length was about 4 mm. The maximum average blue power or 12 mW was achieved with a repetition rate or 13 kHz at an absorbed pump power or 545 mW. The pulses of the 473nm laser had a duration or 7 ns and a peak power of 132 W at this pump level. The conversion efficiency was 2.2% with respect to the absorbed pump power of a 808 nm laser.
