Research on single-longitudinal-mode selection of 2 μm solid-state-lasers

As the light source of the coherent Doppler LIDAR, a single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) with narrow linewidth and high frequency stability are typically required as the seed laser of the injection locking systems. Many scholars make point on the research about SLM selection in laser diode pumped all solid states lasers on theoretically and experimentally. In this paper, we will introduce and discuss the SLM selection work on 2 μm SLM lasers. SLM selection methods mainly include micro-cavity, double cavities, ring laser, inserting F-P etalons into the cavity, inserting birefringent filter into the cavity and so on. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods will be generalized and discussed.     

Room temperature single-frequency output at 2118 nm from a diode-pumped Tm,Ho:YAP laser

A diode end-pumped single-frequency Tm, Ho:YAP laser at room temperature was reported. We demonstrated a single-frequency Tm, Ho:YAP laser at 2118.09 nm wavelength with output power up to 57 mW using two Fabry-Perot intracavity etalons. The optical conversion efficiency is 2.0% and the slope efficiency is 12.7%. The measured full width at half maximum linewidth was <7.5 pm limited by the resolution of the scanning Fabry-Perot etalon used to make the measurement. The wavelength was demonstrated to be stable to about 2 pm over 40 s time periods limited by the temperature stability of the laser. The single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) laser can be used as a seed laser for coherent wind measurements and differential absorption LIDAR systems.
