Monolithical Q-switched microlaser and non-linear intracavity material

摘要

A microlaser cavity has a central or first solid active material (38), a cavity switching means (44) and at least an element in a second, optically non-linear, material (46) allowing multiplication of the base cavity frequency by a whole number, equal or greater than 2, incorporated inside the cavity. Also claimed is a microlaser using such a cavity.
