Abstract:

The experimental results on optic-physical and spectral luminescent properties of Аl₂0₃ :Тi³⁺ crystals, characterizing them as an active medium of a base laser for atmospheric measurements have been presented. The principal lasing properties of the material have been considered. It is shown that by using this medium, simple and high-efficient lasers with tunable coherent emission in the 0,5-5,0 μm range, operating in all available modes, can be created. The prospects of the Аl₂0₃ :Тi³⁺ laser developments by using coherent-, flash lamp-, sun-, or electron beam-pumping are being considered.
