Praseodymium blue-green laser system
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5776550
The invention relates to improvements in Praseodymium solid state YLF lasers operating in the blue-green spectral region at room temperature and providing short pulses useful for underwater communication and detection systems. A dye laser with a narrow spectral output matched to the absorption spectra of the solid state laser is provided as a laser pump. The Pr doped YLF crystal of the solid state laser is physically oriented so it can be longitudinally pumped by light polarized parallel to the c-axis of the crystal, and the solid state laser is equipped with special spectrally selective mirrors. The foregoing and other modifications of prior Pr solid state laser systems provide increased efficiency and power output.
