Angle-cut Nd:YLF as a polarized laser medium at 1313 nm

Abstract

Diode-pumped Nd:YLF lasers at 1313 nm are coincident with the dispersion minimum of fused silica and can be uniquely useful in fiber-optic applications. It is often desirable to use a monolithic or nearly monolithic laser cavity in these applications; this facilitates temperature control of the laser medium and reduces the complexity of the device. Unfortunately, most Nd laser materials operate on more than one wavelength in the 1.32-µm region; line selection and polarization requirements often preclude simple cavity designs. Polarization is often used to line select Nd:YLF lasers.1 Proper choice of propagation axis achieves the same effect with fewer components.
