Broadly Tunable Narrow Line Color Center Laser Oscillation for Molecular Gas Spectroscopy and Excitation

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking Laser Materials and Technology Research Center of the General Physics Institute as follows: The contractor will investigate color center laser crystals operating at room temperature in the 1 - 1.5 micron spectral range with nanosecond neodymium laser pumping, and especially addressing narrow line operation and power amplification, including study of different optical laser schemes and optimization of spectral width, stability, tunability, and output energy for application to molecular gas spectroscopy and excitation.
