Broadly tunable high-power operation of an all-solid-state titanium-doped sapphire laser system
- Lightwave Electronics Corporation, 1161 San Antonio Road, Mountain View, California 94043 (US)
Broadly tunable and high-power operation of a titanium-doped sapphire laser is obtained with a diode-laser-pumped frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser as the pump source. A maximum broadband (FWHM=25 nm) output pulse energy of 720 {mu}J at 795 nm in a TEM{sub 00} mode is obtained for 1850 {mu}J of energy of 532-nm pump light. A minimum pulse duration of 7 ns is obtained from a 40-mm-long cavity. With the use of an intracavity prism, the Ti:sapphire laser is tunable continuously over the 696--1000-nm spectral range (with three different mirror sets).
