Single-mode electro-optically tuned Nd:YVO(4) laser

Opt Lett. 1994 Jun 1;19(11):813-5. doi: 10.1364/ol.19.000813.

Abstract

The design and operating characteristics of a single-mode electro-optically tuned Nd-doped YVO(4) laser are described. Tuning is accomplished by means of a section of LiTaO(3) included in the 600-microm-long cavity. The laser has been tuned electronically over a range of > 10 GHz and thermally over a range of > 100 GHz without mode hopping.
