Diode-pumped Nd:YVO4 and Nd:KGW lasers passively Q-switched with PbS-quantum dot-doped phosphate glass were demonstrated. For the Nd:YVO4 laser, pulses 110 ns in duration with a 13% Q-switching efficiency were obtained. The absorption recovery time o

We demonstrate how to construct a simple single-frequency extended cavity diode laser (ECDL) for the undergraduate laboratory using mainly standard opto-mechanical components. This ECDL is operated with both 635 and 670 nm laser diodes. We present th

The effect of having a birefringent gain crystal is studied in the context of two laser systems: an intracavity frequency-doubled microchip laser and a compact single-frequency laser utilizing a birefringent filter. A model based on Jones calculus is

Guiding of the transverse mode in Nd:YVO/sub 4/ microchip lasers is examined both experimentally and theoretically at pump powers well above threshold. It is found that thermal changes in the cavity geometry induced by intense diode pumping can be we

Microchip lasers with internal second harmonic generation allow the efficient generation of visible light from particularly compact and readily manufactured devices. This paper reviews the underlying physics of these devices, and points to some of th
