No, the second-harmonic crystals in laser pointers are extremely narrow-band in order to be efficient. Only that one specific infrared wavelength (around 1064nm) is partially converted into green light (532nm) with some ten percent of efficiency, everything else is unchanged. So only if you have a strong light source at that 1064nm wavelength in the room, you might expect to see a tiny increase in green hue - without the crystal that wavelength would be simply invisible. Also, it's a 2nd-order nonlinear effect and you only get that efficiency if you pump 50-100mW of infrared light through a tiny spot on the crystal. If you use the crystal as a lens for your glasses with only eye-safe ambient light, the power density on the crystal will be millions of times less and the conversion efficiency scales with the power density squared, so you will see absolutely nothing, even if the whole room is lit up in 1064nm light. Frequency-doubling of the entire visible spectrum is extremely challenging because these crystals typically work only for a "single" (i.e. narrow-band) wavelength and even then getting more than 10% efficiency is considered good. If you want to convert a broad range of wavelengths simultaneously, you have to make the crystal very thin (look up "phase matching"), which makes it very inefficient, so this is only useful for high-power or short-pulsed lasers. Maybe you could make a giant stack of many different crystals tuned for different wavelengths covering the whole visible spectrum, but the resulting contraption would probably be meters thick and re-absorb all the converted light...

That still isn't light interacting with itself, but rather with spacetime, which then bends enough to trap the light. So kind of like an indirect interaction, not a direct one.

An important point to keep in mind with Non-linear interactions such as frequency-doubling of laser light, is the energy loss in the conversion is very high. The laser you have used in the demonstration, more accurately, a Diode-Pumped Solid-State laser uses a Diode pump laser of 808nm and typically its output energy is anywhere between 0.5W upto even several Watts of optical energy. In-turn, this pumps a solid-state laser, a Neodymium-doped yttrium orthovanadate (Nd:YVO4) crystal to produce the 1064nm 'fundamental' frequency. Nd:YVO4 is more efficient that Nd:YAG for smaller pump powers. The Non-Linear crystal is typically a Potassium Titanyl Phosphate (KTP) crystal, however there are a number of crystals that exhibit non-linear properties as well. With a pump laser of say 1W, your final output will be several mW of green 532nm light. Most of the optical energy is used in to Pump the Laser Crystal and then the second harmonic generation of the 532nm light.

You can see on some lasers the beam will become bright and dim in repeating cycles as you warm up the resonator. Some crystals themselves do work best at a certain temp, but I have found that to be secondary to resonator length in most cases.

You can't convert a single photon of infrared into visible, that's simple conservation of energy! If you have a classical (Poissonian) light source and you wait long enough, you'll get 2 photons to coherently overlap once in a while to do the nonlinear frequency conversion. With an actual (non-Poissonian/anti-bunching) single-photon source that's impossible.

Optical light does not, in fact, split up into electrons and positrons spontaneously. The effect is called pair production and can only occur if the photon has an energy bigger than 1022 keV (rest mass energy 511 keV * 2 for both particles), which is nowhere close to the optical spectrum. This is, however, very common with high-energy gamma rays.

That is not entirely true. Even visible-light photons can spontaneously decay into _virtual_ e+/e- pairs as long as they annihilate back into photons within the uncertainty time corresponding to the "borrowed" energy (another way to see it is that within that short time the photons have a huge energy uncertainty such that it's enough for pair creation with finite probability). That happens all the time even with vacuum energy fluctuations and it's the mechanism behind (e.g.) the Casimir effect or Hawking radiation. That said, "vacuum polarization" becomes an actual thing in ultra-hyper-super-strong-field physics, think of EW/cm² (or maybe even ZW) monster lasers like for inertial ignition. If you have mind-boggling densities of low-energy (visible/IR) photons, the probability of virtual pair creation becomes high enough to provide the necessary nonlinear susceptibility for _actual_ pair creation where a million photons simultaneously decide to become an e+/e- pair from now on. It's left as an exercise to the reader to calculate the corresponding chi(1000000) susceptibility tensor...

Then we bought a newly released semiconductor laser that only needed some 25W in (can't remember the colour) for 24mW out (@488nm). These cost some $28,000 each but they made the system much more portable. The only native blue laser available at the time was 405nm being used in Blue-ray players at a cost of some $50 at the time but we were using it to excite fluorescein which was insensitive at 405.
