Moire modulation transfer function of alexandrite rods and their thresholds as lasers
Journal Article

· Opt. Lett.; (United States)
We show that there is a simple correlation between the modulation transfer function (MTF) of alexandrite laser rods and the thresholds of these rods as cw lasers. Thus the MTF provides a novel and important way to evaluate material (before or after fabrication) for use in solid-state lasers. This approach should be generally applicable to all solid-state laser materials.
