Abstract
By analyzing the influence of the titanium–sapphire (Ti:S) crystal thermal effect on the laser resonator during the generation of a 689 nm laser, the thermal characteristics of the Ti:S crystal operating near the gain edge were investigated in this letter. On this basis, a Ti:S laser with high conversion efficiency suitable for operation at the wavelength of 689 nm was designed. Benefiting from the quantification of thermal effects, the beam waist size at the center of the Ti:S crystal was precisely controlled. Finally, a single-frequency continuous-wave 689 nm laser with an output power of 3.65 W was achieved, and the corresponding optical-to-optical conversion efficiency was up to 23.1%. Then, after locking the transmission peak of the inserted etalon to the resonance frequency of the resonator, the continuous-frequency tuning range of 17 GHz around 689 nm was realized by scanning the…
