Abstract

Ce laser à semi-conducteur dopé au néodymium ou autre terre rare est pompé par une diode laser de rendement élevé adaptée, est compact, a un rendement élevé et une longue durée de vie utile. La sortie se fait dans la gamme du proche infrarouge, mais peut être transformée dans le spectre visible grâce à un doubleur 16 de fréquence placé à l'intérieur de la cavité. Un cristal doubleur, qui peut être un cristal de KPT, est placé en un emplacement optimal dans la cavité laser. La polarisation du faisceau peut être réalisée simplement en soumettant un barreau 11 non-biréfringent à une contrainte, avant le doublement de fréquence ou en utilisant un matériau biréfringent comme le Nd:YLF pour constituer le barreau. Un étalon 52 de suppression du bruit d'amplitude peut également être placé en une position optimale à l'intérieur de la cavité du laser ; on peut également, à titre de variante, utiliser une cavité en forme d'anneau ou une paire de lames quart d'onde. Une configuration de cavité repliée forme une paire d'étranglements du faisceau dans la cavité. Le fonctionnement pulsé peut être obtenu au moyen d'un commutateur de coefficient de surtension.
