Phase-conjugate mirrors remove distortions or aberrations from wave fronts in laser beams. With help of mirrors, one obtains high-power laser beams of diffraction-limited quality. Potential applications include multistage laser systems.
Experiment demonstrates that standing-wave, Q-switched, tunable alexandrite laser can be injection-seeded to increase stability of output frequency and significantly reduce bandwidth from 750 GHz to 180 MHz. Injecting laser acts as oscillator or master, while Q-switched laser into which ouput of seed laser injected acts as amplifier or slave.
