Thanks for your time in the detailed explanation. It's not trivial to get a grasp on the overall situation when coming from academia int the 'real world'!

... halving 1064nm will give 532nm, what's green, not blue! - what's the process and source to get high power blue by halving frequency?

... 946nm diodes? - what output energy and beam specs?
I have 975nm diodes with up to 30Watts out of a 0,1mm-fiber and there are stronger modules with up to 150 Watts out of 0,2mm-fibers - but didn't hear of someone using them ...

What do they pump 589 with?
That explains the low conversion yield. I just got a 470nm 25mw diode!! Afraid to power it up. Engineering sample it seems.
I got one of those from Lazerman and incorporated it into a graphics / glow in the dark projector. The 470-473nm gives you light blue without leaving a trail on glow in the dark paint, which is darn cool. My diode seemed to peak out at around 100mw, but I set it at 80mw in the projector. These things are rarer than the great white bat, so I hope it holds out for a long time at that power.
