Abstract
Intracavity-frequency-doubled diode-pumped lasers are attractive sources of visible light. Unfortunately, the coupled nonlinearities of spatial hole burning and nonlinear output coupling lead to amplitude instabilities in simple standing wave lasers.1 Unidirectional lasing in a ring resonator eliminates spatial hole burning and allows stable intracavity generation of frequency-doubled radiation.
