Abstract
A scheme enabling spatial matching of copper-vapor laser radiation, which pumps a mode of an Al2O3:Ti laser cavity, has been developed and implemented. It is shown that copper vapor lasers as pump sources for titanium-sapphire lasers are fully capable of competing with conventional pump sources.
