Abstract:

This Final Report covers a three year research program in basic laser physics and laser device technology. Research covered four main projects synch-pumped OPO mode locking techniques definitive measurements of a fundamental excess quantum noise mechanism development of improved methods for defining and measuring transverse beam quality and work on new unstable resonator and etched mirror concepts. We believe this program has been particularly productive. Mode locked IR pulses mode locked OPO excess quantum noise laser beam quality thermally mode controlled diode lasers Nd vanadate lasers.
