Abstract
Red-diode-pumped Alexandrite lasers has proven to be an efficient method of generating light in the near infrared with broad tunability from 714 to 818 nm recently demonstrated [1]. Conventionally, tunable Alexandrite lasers have used wavelength selective elements such as birefringent filters or external gratings [1, 2]. In this work wavelength tuning is obtained by exploiting the birefringence of the crystal to use the crystal itself as the wavelength selective element, greatly simplifying the cavity and reducing innecessary loss components.
