摘要
Tunable lasers based on ion-doped solid-state media have emerged from the laboratory into commercial production in the last decade, and have found significant application in photonic-systems research. In the future, they may be a critical component of space-based remote sensing systems, communications systems and laser medicine. In this article we review the basic physics of tunable solid-state lasers and discuss the characteristics of the most significant established and emerging systems.
