Injection-Controlled Titanium-Doped Sapphire Laser Using a Pulsed Dye Laser

  • Conference paper
Tunable Solid-State Lasers II

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Optical Sciences ((SSOS,volume 52))

Abstract

Titanium-doped sapphire (Ti:sapphire) lasers have been extensively studied since their recent introduction [1–3]. Because of their wide tuning range (≈700 to 1000 nm), Ti:sapphire lasers are candidates for remote lidar measurements of H2O vapor (≈720 and 940 nm) and pressure and temperature (≈760 nm). These measurements require efficient narrow bandwidth operation and accurate wavelength control.
