ABSTRACT:
A laser system in which the laser medium is a single crystal of Be.sub.3 Al.sub.2 Si.sub.6 O.sub.18 :Cr.sup.3+ (Emerald) is disclosed. Because of its wide fluorescent bandwidth, the material is suitable for high intensity, tunable, mode-locked pulses with durations as short as 10-500 femtoseconds. A number of different laser systems containing this laser medium are described.
