Dual wavelength laser operation in a cut Nd:MgO:LiNbO3

Diode-pumped dual-wavelength a-cut Nd:MgO:LiNbO3 lasers near 1085 and 1093 nm were experimentallyand theoretically investigated. The simultaneous dual-wavelength emitting was mainly attributedto the Boltzmann distribution of the occupation in the Stark-split energy-levels in manifold 4I11/2.Under an
