Active light induced thermal frequency stabilisation of monolithic integrated twisted-mode-cavity Nd:YAG laser
Abstract
A method for the frequency stabilization of diode-pumped solid-state lasers is suggested. The frequency drift of a monolithic integrated twisted-mode-cavity Nd:YAG laser has been compensated for by light absorption which induces temperature and frequency variations. The resulting frequency jitter was reduced to below 30 kHz, i.e., a relative frequency stability of about 10 exp -10.
