Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Current interest in efficient blue solid state laser sources has led to research aimed at converting laser radiation in the 1.3μ region to the blue (4300-4600 Å). The 4F3/2- 4F13/2 transition in Nd:YLF exhibits prominent polarized lines at 1.313μ (σ), 1.321μ (π) and continuous emission between 1.362 and 1.374 μ (π). A Q-switched two rod oscillator emitting 90 mJ on a narrow line at 1.3665μ is described together with a Q-switched oscillator-amplifier chain emitting .5J at 1.313μ.
