Resonant-mode analysis of single-mode face pumped lasers

Abstract: The theoretical investigations and experimental verifications of resonant modes of optically pumped solid host face-pumped lasers (FPL) are discussed. The conditions for a single transverse-mode operation for electrooptically Q-switched neodymium glass and YAG lasers are examined in both stable and stable/unstable resonator configurations. Resonant mode computations were made, based on a Gaussian quadrature and a complex non-Hermitian matrix program.

“…Second, flat amplifiergain profiles cannot be achieved at large optical depth without using amplifier geometries for which each ray in the beam undergoes the same integral of the gain coefficient along its path through the amplifier. Fortunately, there are at least three amplifier geometries 15 ' 17 for which these two requirements can be met simultaneously. These amplifier geometries are illustrated conceptually in Figs.…”

“…Such temperatures permit the use of a wide variety of crucible materials and growth methods. We are greatly encouraged by the progress made in recent years in the growth of high-quality, large diameter (>10 cm) LiYF 4 crystals doped with trivalent rare earth ion activators, 15 Effort is now also being directed to ward the growth of large aperture MgF 2 crystals doped with Co 2+ ions. Growth of largeaperture oxide crystals has also been achieved in recent years (Nd:GGG up to 15 cm diameter and undoped A1 2 0 3 up to 30 cm diameter).…”
