Journal ArticleDOI
Monolithic, unidirectional single-mode Nd:YAG ring laser
Thomas J. Kane,Robert L. Byer +1 more
TL;DR: A nonplanar ring oscillator with the resonator contained entirely within a Nd:YAG crystal obtained unidirectional oscillation when placed in a magnetic field with pump-limited, single-axial-mode output of 163 mW.
Journal ArticleDOI
The slab geometry laser - Part I: Theory
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed theoretical description of the thermal, stress, and beam propagation characteristics of a slab laser is presented, which includes consideration of the effects of the zig-zag optical path.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient, frequency-stable laser-diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser
TL;DR: The design and test of a laser-diode-pumped monolithic Nd:YAG oscillator found the frequency jitter was less than 10 kHz over a 0.3-sec period, the best frequency stability reported for a Nd?:YAG laser to date.
Patent
Optical wavelength filtering apparatus with depressed-index claddings
TL;DR: In this article, an apparatus and a method for separating a light of a first wavelength μ1 from a second wavelength μ2, where μ1<μ2, in a waveguide such as an optical fiber is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frequency stability and offset locking of a laser-diode-pumped Nd:YAG monolithic nonplanar ring oscillator.
TL;DR: The frequency stability of laser-diode-pumped, monolithic Nd:YAG solid-state unidirectional nonplanar ring oscillators was studied by heterodyne measurements and cw single-axial- and transverse-mode power was obtained.
