Abstract
A Ti: Al2O3 laser is longitudinally pumped by the focused beam of an Ar+ laser at the pump wavelength λ p = 514 nm. A wavelength tuner is inserted in the cavity, forcing the laser to oscillate at 850 nm. Assume a round trip loss of the cavity γ rt = 10%, an output mirror reflectivity R = 95% and a pump efficiency η P = 30%. Assume also that the laser is under optimum pumping conditions. Calculate the laser slope efficiency.
