Abstract
Monitoring the transient buildup of laser emission is proposed as a simple method for spectro-temporal intracavity diagnostics of laser transitions and materials. Using this method, we determined the absolute magnitude of both laser emission and absorption cross sections for a line-narrowed tunable Er/sup 3+/-fiber laser.<>
