Abstract
There is currently considerable interest in compact blue light sources that use periodically poled waveguides for quasi-phase-matched frequency doubling of GaAlAs laser diodes.1,2 Ina practical device, feedback must be suppressed to achieve stable operation of the laser diode. Here we report the use of air "extended cavity'" configuration in which the diode laser output facet and SHG waveguide facets are antireflection-coated, and strong feedback is intentionally provided by an external grating to produce stable laser oscillation.
