An absorption mechanism based on second-harmonic generation (SHG) is successfully implemented as a buffer reservoir in a solid-state Er,Yb:Glass laser emitting at the telecom wavelength. We show that a slight absorption mechanism based on SHG rate conversion of 0.016% using a beta barium borate crystal enables the canceling out of the excess intensity noise at the relaxation oscillation frequency, i.e., 35 dB reduction, as well as canceling the amplified spontaneous emission beating at the free spectral range resonances of the laser lying in the gigahertz range. Laser robustness is discussed.
