Abstract :
CW operation of a RbCl:Li-F/sub A/(II) laser has been obtained under pumping by a red laser diode. Pump power at threshold is 90 mW. Single frequency operation of the color center laser has been achieved. The intensity noise generated by two pump sources (laser diode and Kr-ion laser) is compared.<>
