Injection locking of a 13-W cw Nd:YAG ring laser.

A lamp-pumped, 13-W cw Nd:YAG ring laser at 1.064 microm is injection locked using a 40-mW single-frequency diodelaser-pumped Nd:YAG laser as the master oscillator. The phase fidelity of the injected slave to the master is measured using an all-optical technique.
