- Abstract:
- Monolithic Nd:YAG lasers are appropriate coherent light sources for measurement purposes. Measurement restrictions can be caused by laser signal instability. We discuss the influence of pump source, temperature and competing laser oscillations on signal properties of lasers with a linear resonator configuration and analyze some passive stabilization precautions. We conclude linear monolithic Nd:YAG lasers can provide high beat frequency stabilities which are comparable to optical stabilities of free-running nonplanar monolithic ring lasers.
