  • Abstract
    In this paper we present are latest work on the development of a solid state pump-probe laser. Our initial aim was to develop a system for use in electro-optic sampling but it is clear that there are many sampling techniques that require a pump-probe source. Basic results on the principle of operation will be given as well as a description of the prototype system which has been developed
