This Small Business Innovative Research Phase I Project will produce a narrow linewidth, single frequency, tunable Yb laser having a TEMoo mode. Such a laser would be an extremely useful tool for a number of important applications, such as a pump source for optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) and fiber amplifiers. Our preliminary analysis indicates that the best way to meet the requirements for this laser is through a novel technique based on the spatial structure of the intra-cavity electromagnetic fields. This method allows for scalability and versatility, while still achieving excellent performance in a relatively simple and stable configuration. The proposed system should produce hundreds of mW of power in a single longitudinal mode, with a wide tuning range and excellent frequency stability in a narrow bandwidth. The developed system will radically improve the characteristics of tunable lasers and will be an ideal source for high data transfer rate communication system between moving 'parties' for spectroscopy, parametric oscillators, clocks and others.

这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目将产生一个窄线宽，单频，可调谐Yb激光器具有TEMoo模式。 这样的激光器对于许多重要的应用将是非常有用的工具，例如用于光学参量振荡器（OPO）和光纤放大器的泵浦源。我们的初步分析表明，最好的方式来满足这种激光器的要求是通过一种新的技术的基础上的空间结构的腔内电磁场。 这种方法允许可扩展性和多功能性，同时仍然在相对简单和稳定的配置中实现出色的性能。所提出的系统应产生数百毫瓦的功率在一个单一的纵向模式，具有宽的调谐范围和优良的频率稳定性在一个狭窄的带宽。所开发的系统将从根本上改善可调谐激光器的特性，并将成为光谱学、参量振荡器、时钟等移动“方”之间高数据传输速率通信系统的理想来源。
