Abstract

Developed and studied is a pulsed Ti:Sapphire laser with new active medium parameters. For the first time, short (3 - 5 mm) Ti³⁺:Al₂O₃ crystals with relatively high Ti³⁺ ion concentrations (0.18 - 0.22%) have been employed. The developed laser has comparatively high generation power and very simple reliable construction design. The best-achieved differential efficiency of the Ti:Sapphire laser amounted to 30.4%. Considered are the advantages of the proposed laser pumped with a Cu-vapor laser as applied to two-photon photodynamic therapy.
