We have constructed a blue laser source consisting of a single-frequency tapered diode laser with external cavity feedback that is frequency doubled by a quasi-phase matched KTP (PPKTP) in a bowtie ring cavity and extract more than 360 mW of power at 405 nm. The conversion efficiency from fundamental laser power to second harmonic power is 35 %, while it is 64 % from coupled fundamental power to extracted blue light.
Thermal effects and gray tracking set an upper limit on the amount of generated blue light.
