Spectroscopic and laser characteristics of Ti:Al2O3 (original) (raw)

NASA/ADS

Abstract

Spectroscopic measurements and laser performance of T:Al2O3 are discussed in detail. Data on absorption and fluorescence spectra and fluorescence lifetime as a function of temperature are presented. Laser characteristics observed with pulsed-dye-laser, frequency-doubled Nd:YAG-laser, and argon-ion-laser pumping are covered and show that nearly quantum-limited conversion of pump radiation cna be achieved, along with tuning over the wavelength range 660-986 nm.
