The output of a laser-diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser with an intravcavity-doubling crystal exhibits large-amplitude fluctuations and longitudinal-mode instabilities. results experimental theoretical investigation these instabilities are described. arise from coupling the longitudinal modes oscillator by sum-frequency generation in nonlinear crystal. A rate-equation theory multilongitudinal-mode intracavity-doubling is presented that includes terms modeling frequency-doubling processes.

We discuss a refined, hybrid rf/optical technique for studying sub-Doppler saturated absorption/dispersion resonances with excellent precision and symmetry. Sensitivity is limited mainly by fundamental noise in the signal. Resonance profiles obtained I2 are remarkable agreement theory. The method promises new level of accuracy laser locking to an optical resonance.
