Abstract
Tunable vibronic solid state lasers are now becoming valuable research tools; their ability to provide broadly tunable, narrow bandwidth, high intensity radiation makes them extremely attractive spectroscopic sources. To date, however, there have been few reports of systems generating the high spectral purity required for high resolution spectroscopic applications. The typically low gain of broadly tunable solid state materials coupled with the substantial losses of intracavity frequency and spatial mode control elements makes the design of such lasers difficult.
