title: Diode-pumped single-frequency Tm:LiLuF(4) ring laser.
abstract: We report a room-temperature single-frequency Tm:LiLuF(4) laser with a maximum output power of 120 mW, a slope efficiency of 13%, and a wavelength tunability range from 1875 to 1895 nm. Both frequency and relative intensity noise have been investigated, showing an emission linewidth of approximately 300 kHz over 1 ms observation time and an intensity noise spectrum limited by quantum noise for Fourier frequencies larger than 5 MHz.
