Abstract

A NaCl∶OH ring color center laser, tunable from 1.49–1.70 μm with a two plate birefringent filter has been realized, which yields 1.5 W output power at 6 W Nd-YAG input pump power. Calculations of the spectral net gain including the homogeneously broadened gain profile, the birefringent transmission characteristics, and the mirror reflectivities are presented and compared with the experimental results.
