Abstract
Disclosed is a compact optical source capable of emitting wavelengths (notably in the blue spectrum) which it is difficult for standard laser diodes to achieve. This source has a laser (or laser diode) emitting at a wavelength .lambda.oi, a non-linear medium (NLM) in which the phase matching condition is achieved at a wavelength .lambda.o.sub.a belonging to the set of .lambda.o.sub.i values, a mirror M.sub.l transparent at .lambda.o.sub.i /2 and reflective at .lambda.oi placed at output of the medium (NLM) By reinjecting wavelengths .lambda.oi.noteq..lambda.oa into the laser, it is possible to lock the emission of the laser to .lambda.oa and thus set up a high-powered optical source .lambda.o.sub.a /2. Application: blue sources.
