<p>A method for selecting laser and pump frequencies for a quasi-two level solid state laser (10) with a selected laser host (12) and operating the laser with the selected laser and pump frequencies, the host (12) having a fluorescence probability P(v) over a frequency range vi to vf, the method has the steps of: determining for the laser host (12), a power weighted average fluorescence frequency <vF> given by 1/(vf - vi) times the integral from vi to vf of v*P(v) dv; selecting an output frequency vL for the quasi-two level solid state laser (10) to satisfy the expression vL < <vF>, and tuning the laser (10) for laser emission at the vL; and selecting the pump frequency vP for the quasi-two level solid state laser (10) to satisfy the expression vL < vP < <vF>, and optically pumping the laser host (12) with a laser pump (14) to produce laser emission at the vL. This will provide athermal laser operation.</p> |
