Excitation of a Cr:forsterite laser to the 3T1 band

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Laser oscillation of Cr:forsterite was obtained with ruby laser pumping to the lowest-lying levels of the 3T1 band in Cr4+. Pump polarization effects, temporal response, and broadband 220-nm tuning are reported. Frequency doubling in potassium titanyl phosphate generate tunable red–yellow light. This unconventional excitation scheme is of interest for potential high-energy output and for direct diode pumping.
