Abstract :
We experimentally demonstrate how the proper design of a two polarization dual-frequency solid-state laser allows to get rid of the anti-phase noise in the simplest possible architecture and without using any electronic or optical feedback loop. This design is based on an appropriate choice of the active medium cut and orientation in order to assign two almost independent families of active atoms to the two laser modes.
