✦ Synopsis

The mode competition in a double-mode diode-pumped
Nd:YAG laser is studied theoretically and experimentally. In
particular, the influence of various laser parameters on the
steady-state double-mode regime for parallel and
orthogonal polarization of the modes is studied. It is shown that
the establishment of steady-state double-mode lasing is
accompanied by relaxation oscillations more complicated than for
single-mode lasing. It is found that the scanning rate of the
cavity modes influences the character of the relaxation
oscillations.

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.
