Anti-phase matching behaviour in laser diode injected intra-cavity doubled Ti:sapphire laser

Summary form only given. There is an increasing need in high peak power single mode ultraviolet tunable coherent sources for different applications. We show that by laser diode injecting an intra-cavity doubled Ti:sapphire laser allows one to obtain a high yield (10 fold enhancement) and a single mode operation. Anti-phase matching behaviour is observed where minimum yield is obtained at phase matching maximum, and explained using a simple theoretical model.
