A laser for the pocket of Joseph's `multicoloured' coat
Abstract
A single-colour conventional laser may be used to drive an Optical Parametric Oscillator. This utilizes the nonlinear interaction between light and matter to generate light of any colour. In this way a compact and robust laser system can be made that is capable of a multicolour output.
