Abstract

Transversely pumped 1 cm long crystals are operated in a plan-parallel cavity with dielectric mirrors of 100% and 30% reflectivity. Relaxation-oscillations in the laser emission at 540 nm with frequencies in the range of (1 to 1.8)·109 s−1 are observed. A square root dependence on pump rate is shown and an internal loss coefficient of 5.4 cm−1 is derived.
