Abstract

We have developed a diode-pumped, single-mode laser that provides stable amplitude output over many hours. The laser is capable of operating with three types of output: (1) as a single-mode, Q-switched laser, (2) as a single-mode, cw laser; and (3) as a Q-switched laser operating with two adjacent, equal-amplitude cavity modes to provide sinusoidally modulated output. No laser realignment is required to change the laser to these various outputs.
