    摘要: Provided are an apparatus and a method for converting laser energy, characterized by employing an optical parametric oscillator for converting light of a green laser wavelength into light of a blue or red laser wavelength via a phase matching structure, by means of a non-linear optical crystal having a one-dimensional quasi-phase matching structure with a single grating period under appropriately-controlled temperature conditions. The non-linear optical crystal with the single grating period facilitates optical parametric oscillation and second harmonic generation to thereby enable green-to-blue wavelength conversion with a slope efficiency greater than 20%. Under 400 mW green light pump laser action, a periodically poled LiTaO3 crystal with a crystal length of 15 mm and without a resistant reflective plating film on its end face is capable of outputting a blue light laser beam of 56 mW.
