Al2O3:Ti3+ – titanium-doped sapphire crystals combine supreme physical and optical properties with broadest lasing range. It’s indefinitely long stability and useful lifetime added to the lasing over entire band of 660–1050 nm challenge “dirty” dyes in variety of applications. Medical laser systems, lidars, laser spectroscopy, direct femtosecond pulse generation by Kerr-type mode-locking – there are few of existing and potential applications.
