ABSTRACT:
A self-aligned, monolithic, solid microlaser with passive switching by a saturable absorber and a production process therefor. The cavity for the microlaser has a solid active medium, a saturable absorber, an entrance mirror and an exit mirror, wherein the saturable absorber is a thin film of saturable absorbent material directly deposited on the solid active medium.
