Injection locking of a 13-W cw Nd:YAG ring laser

Abstract
A lamp-pumped, 13-W cw Nd:YAG ring laser at 1.064 μm is injection locked using a 40-mW single-frequency diode-laser-pumped Nd:YAG laser as the master oscillator. The phase fidelity of the injected slave to the master is measured using an all-optical technique.
