Abstract
A single beamline of the National Ignition Facility (NIF) has been operated at a wavelength of 526.5 nm (2[omega]) by frequency converting the fundamental 1053 nm (l[omega]) wavelength with an 18.2 mm thick type-I potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) second-harmonic generator (SHG) crystal. Second-harmonic energies of up to 17.9 kJ were measured at the final optics focal plane with a conversion efficiency of 82%. For a similarly configured 192-beam NIF, this scales to a total 2w energy of 3.4 MJ full NIF equivalent (FNE). OCIS codes: 140.0140, 140.3070, 140.3515, 140.3530.
