Overview
FrançaisABSTRACT
This article presents the fundamental physics of solid-state laser-type materials (crystals, glasses, and now transparent ceramics) giving rise to emission within the optical spectral range (ultraviolet, visible, near infrared). The emission lines are either sharp, mainly with rare earth ions for one-wavelength laser sources, or broad bands with metal transition ions for tunable laser sources. We describe the trends in solid-state CW or pulsed (ns-ps-fs) laser sources, with increasing use of high power pump diodes.
