Abstract:Short pulse 3 µm laser is promising for medical applications, remote sensing techniques, and as the pump source for OPO operating in 5 µm spectral range. Unfortunately, low gain on the working transition of the most common diode pumped Er: YLF laser makes it difficult to obtain short pulses using Q-modulation techniques.
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.
