Popis: We have demonstrated sum-frequency generation of a compact continuous-wave orange laser in a step-chirped magnesium oxide doped periodically poled lithium niobate in single-pass mode. A 974 nm laser diode was mixed with a C-band amplified spontaneous emission laser source to yield a triple-wavelength operation at 594.9, 596.9, and 598.6 nm with a maximum output power of 9.3 mW and broad bandwidth of ~4.4 nm. The triple-wavelength output power stability was ~2.5% in 30 min. This technique provides a path to generate broadband laser sources at shorter wavelengths which are potentially useful for biomedical and spectroscopic applications.
