Abstract
An injection seeded, single frequency ring laser source is presented wherein stabilization and single frequency control is accomplished by measuring the intensity or power of the portion of the high power laser beam generated in the ring slave laser and which is directed to return to the seed laser. When the intensity of the return beam falls below a preset threshold level, the in-phase operation of the laser system has been established and high energy single frequency pulses are generated and emitted.
