We report on the development and the demonstration of a tunable, watt-level, blue-green, linearly polarized vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting lasers operating around by intracavity second-harmonic generation. By using lithium triborate crystal, we have achieved over continuous wave blue-green power at with a tunability.
