Many TPA data taken with ns lasers and fs lasers are available in the literature. According to the problems arising with ns lasers applying nonlinear absorption, the fs laser should be the light source of choice to quantify TPA data. However,...

The solid state laser is actually a specialized phosphor. It consists of a host and an activator, but the host must be single crystal. What we have to say about the solid state laser applies equally to all lasers, be they gaseous or solid state.

The mechanical or electro-optical modulation of CW lasers applied in these initial experiments was soon superceded by the use of injection-locked pulse-amplified pump lasers in combination with quasi-CW probe lasers [45,80]. When the probe laser has a higher frequency than the pump laser, one obtains a Raman loss or inverse Raman spectrum when the probe laser has the lower frequency, a stimulated Raman gain spectrum is observed by tuning one of the two lasers. Through the pulse amplification of the pump laser, its linewidth is increased over that of a CW laser to between 60 and 100 MHz (0.002 and 0.003 cm ). However, this was at first fully satisfactory, because the resolution in these experiments is largely determined by Doppler and residual pressure broadening. Moreover, the development of injection seeded Nd YAG lasers with smooth pulses has lowered the pump laser linewidth [81] to about 30 MHz. The construction of a seeded Nd YAG laser with longer pulses (35-45 ns) further reduced the linewidth to 10 MHz [82].
