Abstract
Strong self-pulsation is inherent in Tm:YAlO <inf>3</inf> lasers, making them difficult to use. The suppression methods reported in literature use an intra-cavity AOM, which is not viable for high power operation. We demonstrate the first reported suppression of such self-pulsing in Tm:YAlO <inf>3</inf> using a feedback loop with current directly injected into the diode. © 2011 IEEE.
