Patent number: 10270218Abstract: A laser device includes a light source that emits a source light having a first peak wavelength. A nonlinear optical component performs a frequency conversion process that converts the source light into output light having a second peak wavelength. A stabilization component minimizes a mismatch error constituting a difference between the first peak wavelength and a wavelength for which the frequency conversion process in the nonlinear optical component has a maximum value. The stabilization component may include a housing that is thermally conductive between the light source and the nonlinear optical component to minimize a temperature difference between the light source and the nonlinear optical component. The laser device may include a focusing optical component that focuses the source light to have a convergence half angle that is larger than a convergence half angle that gives maximum output power, thereby increasing an acceptable range of the mismatch error.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2017Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Karl Peter Welna, Edward Andrew Boardman, Tim Michael Smeeton, Valerie Berryman-Bousquet
