Abstract

Solid state tunable laser crystal is a considerable well ultra-fast laser medium according to the uncertainty principle, and also an ideal high power laser amplifier medium due to its excellent thermal and mechanical properties. Thus, the laser will give widespread use in scientific field, such as spectroscopy and photo-chemistry studies, and important practical applications, such as remote sensing, pollution detecting, isotope separation, and inertia confinement fusion laser driver, etc.
