Semiconductor-laser pumped Ti:sapphire laser

摘要

A laser includes a Ti:sapphire gain-element that is optically pumped by radiation from a semiconductor laser device. In one example the semiconductor laser device is an InGaN diode-laser array and the gain-element is optically pumped by radiation emitted by that array. In another example, the semiconductor laser device is an optically pumped semiconductor laser (OPS-laser) optically pumped by radiation from an InGaN diode-laser array. In a further example the semiconductor device is an intracavity frequency-doubled OPS laser.
