Diode-pumped tunable low-threshold CW Nd{sup}3+:KY{sub}3F{sub}10 laser for remote environmental sensing

摘要

A Nd{sub}3+: KY{sub}3F{sub}10-based laser for remote environmental sensing is characterized under the 798-nm CW diode end-pumping. Tunability of 8 nm across the main 1056-nm emission band was demonstrated aimed at laser applications forsatellite-based H{sub}2O and ground-based CO{sub}2 detection as well as HBr contamination tracing.
