Low-threshold, cw, all-solid-state Ti:Al(2)O(3) laser.
A cw Ti:A1(2)O(3) ring laser with a threshold power of 119 mW is demonstrated. It provides a tunable source of single-frequency, diffraction-limited radiation that is suitable for injection seeding. The Ti:A1(2)O(3) laser is operated with a diode-laser-pumped, frequency-doubled, Nd:YAG laser as the sole pump source.
