Abstract
An experiment is described in which 350 mW of single‐frequency light at 5145 Å was obtained using an argon FM laser with an external LiNbO3 modulator. Data on overall conversion efficiency from multifrequency to single‐frequency light are presented. Also discussed is the reduction in distortion with increasing optical power. Total sideband content was less than 0.125% of the maximum optical power, corresponding to an ac ripple of 3.5% rms.Keywords
