Hey, I’m a chemist and have a question which might be straightforward for many of you!
I’m made compounds having an extraordinary high second harmonic response at 400/800 nm. I want to now try to make a yellow laser, at 570-590 nm by their irradiation at 1140-1180 nm. There is a market for yellow lasers having watt-level output power level. But first, you need a higher power laser which operates at 1140-1180 nm.
There’s reason to believe that if it were possible to find a relatively high power laser at 1140-1180 nm, these or similar materials would become a reliable yellow laser source. The 1140-1180 nm range is relatively low energy, so it would hopefully not damage the materials.
So far, it hasn’t been possible to locate such a laser There are lasers sources - in the 100 - 200 mW range- but this is too low (He-Ne, Ba(II) and Pb(II)).
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Fenton
