Pulsed, room-temperature operation of a tunable NaCl color-center laser
Journal Article

· Opt. Lett.; (United States)
A room-temperature, pulsed, color-center laser using OH/sup : /-doped NaCl crystals is reported. Crystals were transversely pumped by a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser at 1.06 ..mu..m and produced output energies of 8.6 mJ in 20-nsec pulses. The tuning range extended from 1.37 to 1.77 ..mu..m. During 40 h of operation (>10/sup 6/ pulses), a gradual power fading was observed. Laser action is tentatively ascribed to F/sub 2//sup //sup +/ centers.
