Abstract

The smallest green laser containing a built-in temperature controlling unit has been demonstrated. The device volume was just 0.5 cubic centimeters, which is nearly the same size as existing red and blue diode lasers, has an electrical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 10% and 150 mW power output. Furthermore as an alternative approach for compact green laser development, a quasi-phase matching method with wide spectral bandwidth for the reduction of speckle noise will be presented.
