A green diode laser includes a tubular laser casing, a heat sink sealedly mounted
at the laser casing, a semiconductor chip supported by the heat sink, an optical
resonant cavity supported within the laser casing, including a lasing medium and
an intracavity frequency doubler, an IR blocking filter inclinedly and seadedly
mounted at the laser casing to optically communicate with an output facet, and
a photodiode supported within the laser casing at a position that when the laser
beam exits the output facet, the IR blocking filter reflects a portion of the laser
beam towards the photodiode such that the photodiode is adapted for detecting the
laser beam from the IR blocking filter as a feedback for controlling a power output
of the green laser chip.
