CW generation from Ti:sapphire pumped with a high-power Ar super(+)-laser

We report on generation at a level of 37 W from Ti:Al sub(2)O sub(3) pumped with a high-power argon laser. A conversion efficiency of approximately 30% has been obtained at approximately 100 W of pump power without special resonator optimization. Characteristics of the lasing spectrum of the crystal...

Summary:We report on generation at a level of 37 W from Ti:Al sub(2)O sub(3) pumped with a high-power argon laser. A conversion efficiency of approximately 30% has been obtained at approximately 100 W of pump power without special resonator optimization. Characteristics of the lasing spectrum of the crystal cooled with liquid nitrogen in a two-mirror resonator are presented.
