cw room-temperature laser operation of Nd : CAMGAR at 0.941 and 1.059 μ

Abstract

Continuous‐wave laser operation at 300 °K at 941 and 1059 nm has beeen demonstrated using Nd : CAMGAR. Discrimination against the 1059‐nm line required only tuned dielectric mirrors because of the strong 941‐nm fluorescence. Gain and loss coefficients at 1059 nm were determined.
