Single-frequency operation of a monolithic Nd:glass ring laser via the acousto-optic effect
A monolithic laser fabricated from Nd-doped phosphate glass is described in which unidirectional and hence single-frequency operation is enforced by the acousto-optic effect in the laser medium. Reliable single-frequency output could be maintained indefinitely with an applied radio-frequency power o...
