Diode Laser Pumped Single Mode 1.3 microns Nd: YALO Microlaser

Abstract

The objective of this program was to investigate the implementation of a tunable single frequency Neodymium YALO laser on the 1.34 microns transition capable of producing several milliwatts of output power. This laser is to be used as a seed source to injection lock a larger Nd: YALO laser. The output from the latter is in turn to be frequency tripled and Raman shifted to match the passband of the Cs atomic vapor filter. Such a system may be suitable for use in submarine laser communication applications. Keywords: Diode laser pumped, Single mode, Microlasers, Optics.
