Abstract :
A CW laser pumped emerald laser is reported, A 34 percent output power slope efficiency is observed with longitudinal pumping by a krypton laser in a nearly concentric cavity. The laser has been tuned from 728.8 to 809.0 nm, Losses in emerald are larger than those of alexandrite determined in a similar cavity. Our data also indicate that the excited state absorption minimum is shifted from that of alexandrite.
