The influence of transverse mode locking in critical cavity configurations on the threshold pump power of diode end-pumped solid-state lasers was investigated both theoretically and experimentally for the large portion of the cavity stability region. An experimental study was performed for lasers based on Nd:YLF, Nd:YVO 4 , Nd:GdVO 4 and Nd:KGW crystals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
