The coherence properties of a diode-pumped Nd:YAG ring laser have been studied by a self-heterodyne autocorrelation technique using a very long path difference Mach--Zehnder interferometer and by homodyne interferometry in a Michelson interferometer. Results show the laser to have a linewidth of ..delta..f = 6.1 +- 0.7 kHz at a power output of 5 mW.
