Organization of the Topical Meeting on Tunable Solid State Lasers Held in North Falmouth, Massachusetts on 1-3 May 1989
Abstract
Progress and interest in solid state lasers generally, and in tunable solid state lasers specifically, continues to expand. Applications of these lasers include spectroscopy, remote sensing, ranging and imaging, and medicine. New solid state materials are providing lasers with higher output power, broader tunability, and more efficient pumping schemes. The quantum electronics and crystal chemistry properties of these new materials are leading to enhanced laser performance. At the meeting, sessions on sapphire, novel laser schemes, Cr lasers, forsterite and excited state absorption, solid state lasers for specialized applications, alexandrite lasers, Cr related issues, diode pumped lasers, nonlinear frequency conversion, 1.3 micron Nd lasers, infrared lasers and energy transfer, 2-micron lasers, rare earth laser materials, and Er lasers.
