Abstract

The development of the new solid-state laser material, Cr:LiSAF, offers an important alternative for short pulse laser applications. Like Ti:sapphire, LiSAF exhibits a broad bandwidth, tunable from 760 to 1000 nm. Unlike Ti:sapphire, however, it has a relatively long upper-state lifetime (60 µs) and, therefore, can be flashlamp-pumped. This advantage, coupled with the fact that LiSAF has a low nonlinear refractive index and low thermal tensing, make it an ideal candidate for high-power short pulse laser systems.
