Preferred Label : solid state lasers;
IUPAC acronym : CW;
IUPAC definition : CW or pulsed lasers in which the active medium is a solid matrix (crystal or glass)
doped with an ion (e.g. Nd sup 3 /sup , Cr sup 3 /sup , Er sup 3 /sup ). The emitted
wavelength depends on the active ion, the selected optical transition, and the matrix.
Some of these lasers are tunable within a very broad range (e.g. from 700 to 1000
nm for Ti sup 3 /sup doped sapphire). Pulsed lasers may be free-running, Q-switched,
or mode-locked. Some CW lasers may be mode-locked.;
