Abstract

Amplitude and frequency stability of an injection-locked diode-pumped miniature Nd:YAG ring laser were measured. The mechanism of amplitude-noise transfer to the injection-locked slave laser was experimentally investigated and consequences for the injection locking of solid-state lasers operating at high output powers are discussed.
