Thermal shifts of the spectral lines in the 4F3/2 to 4I11/2 manifold of an Nd:YAG laser

A report is presented of the thermal shifts of eleven of the twelve lines from the 4F3/2 Stark energy levels to the 4I11/2 energy levels in an Nd:YAG laser for a temperature change from 20-200 C. The thermal shift difference between the Stark sublevels R1, R2 in 4F3/2 is found to be about -0.6 +/- 0...

Description
Summary:A report is presented of the thermal shifts of eleven of the twelve lines from the 4F3/2 Stark energy levels to the 4I11/2 energy levels in an Nd:YAG laser for a temperature change from 20-200 C. The thermal shift difference between the Stark sublevels R1, R2 in 4F3/2 is found to be about -0.6 +/- 0.6 cm-1/100 C. Within experimental uncertainty, all of the lasing lines either moved to longer wavelength or remained unchanged with increasing temperature. (I.E.)
