Abstract
This paper reports what we believe to be the first finding that, in laser diode- pumped solid-state lasers, the mode hopping of the pumping laser causes the noise in the solid-state laser. The mode hopping results from the optical feedback into the pumping laser diode, which is reflected from the solid-state laser material facet in excess of a certain amount.
