Efficient frequency doubling of a femtosecond Yb:KGW laser in a BiB3O6 crystal.
Efficient frequency doubling of a high-power femtosecond Yb:KGW laser in a nonlinear BiBO crystal is demonstrated. Green second harmonic generation with more than 1.1 W of average power and 41% conversion efficiency was achieved using a single-pass configuration.
