Temperature-tunable, single frequency microcavity lasers fabricated from flux-grown YCeAG:Nd

Data are presented on a single-frequency, diode-pumped, microcavity YCeAG:Nd laser. The maximum output power was 45 mW in continuous operation, limited by the available pump power of 250 mW. The output was single-frequency, TEM00 at all powers. The lasing frequency was continuously temperature-tunable over a range greater than 180 GHz, with a stability of better than 10 MHz.
