Broadly tunable pulsed laser for the infrared using color centers
Abstract
We report design criteria and performance characteristics of a pulsed color center laser, excited by a nitrogen-pumped dye laser. One hundred watts peak power with 2% energy conversion efficiency and a 0.03 cm -1 bandwidth are obtained near 2.7 μm.
