Increased single-frequency power from end-pumped ring laser by pump beam displacement

End-pumped unidirectional ring lasers often suffer some degree of residual spatial hole burning, where a standing-wave region overlaps the pumped region. By non-concentric pumping this overlap can be reduced, thus increasing the output power level at which single frequency operation can be maintaine...
