Abstract
An efficient, compact source of coherent radiation in the infrared, visible and ultraviolet portion of the spectrum which is capable of modulation rates over the range from 0 Hz to in excess of 1 GHz. The radiation is produced by optical mixing within the optical cavity of a laser by introducing input radiation into the optical cavity where: (a) the cavity is that of a diode-pumped solid state laser, and/or (b) input radiation is provided by a solid state device selected from the group consisting of laser diodes, laser diode arrays and diode-pumped solid state lasers.
