Laser Performance And Tuning Characteristics Of A Diode Pumped Nd:YAlO3 Laser At 1083 Nm
Abstract
We have successfully end-pumped a small, (7 mm) "a-axis" crystal of Nd-doped YAlO3 with a 500 mW, cw diode laser. More than 100 mW of YAlO3 laser emission at 1079.5 nm was obtained when end-pumped by a Spectra-Diode Labs laser emitting at 805 nm. Laser emission was also obtained at 1064.5 nm, 1072.9 nm, 1084.5 nm, 1090.9 nm and 1098.9 nm when a Lyot filter is added to the cavity for frequency selection. Each of these bands was tuned through several nm with the addition of an uncoated, 0.25 mm thick etalon to the cavity. Gain and tuning curves for this system are presented. © 1989.
