Single frequency, continuously tunable, diode-pumped Nd:LiY sub(0.5)Gd sub(0.5)F sub(4) microlaser

We have studied the single frequency lasing performance of a neodymium doped microlaser that uses the new host material LiY sub(0.5)Gd sub(0.5)F sub(4). Using a very compact cavity design and combining techniques of hole burning mode suppression and frequency selection we achieve a smoothly tunable...

Zusammenfassung:We have studied the single frequency lasing performance of a neodymium doped microlaser that uses the new host material LiY sub(0.5)Gd sub(0.5)F sub(4). Using a very compact cavity design and combining techniques of hole burning mode suppression and frequency selection we achieve a smoothly tunable bandwidth of more than 150 GHz. In a high brightness, longitudinal diode-pumped set-up we obtain 200 mW of continuous single frequency output power. copyright 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
