Wavelength selection and wide-temperature-range operation of neodymium-doped lasers

This thesis presents research results in two general areas of the solid-state laser technology commonly used in defence applications. The first area uses volume Bragg gratings (VBGs) as cavity mirrors, giving wavelength selection, linewidth reduction and improved frequency doubling efficiency. The s...
