A diode-pumped single frequency Tm:YAG laser operating at 2 ฮผm is demonstrated in this letter. The laser crystal is controlled at room temperature by using a thermoelectric cooler. Two solid uncoated fused silica etalons are employed to narrow the laser line-width, the thicknesses of which are 0.1 m

โฆ Synopsis
A diode pumped tunable single-frequency Tm:YAG laser using the twisted-mode cavity is reported. The maximum single-frequency output power is 514 mW with a slope efficiency of 9.7%. The wavelength tuning range from 2011.587 nm to 2016.065 nm is achieved by tuning the obliquity of a 1-mm-thick etalon. The single frequency laser has a beam quality of M 2 < 1.3 at the maximum single-frequency output power. Beam radius, mm 0.7 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.8 0.9 1.

A tunable single-mode source is obtained using a coaxially packaged Fabry-Perot laser diode with a built-in external cavity. The facet of the coupling fiber becomes an optical reflector and forms an external cavity with a laser facet. The single-mode oscillation condition is controlled and stabilize
