Mode-locked Nd:YAG laser with output at 1052, 1061, 1064, and 1074 nm
The picosecond Nd:YAG laser with an output radiation at 1064 nm is currently widely used. However, in connection with many applications, picosecond pulses at other wavelengths are also needed. The present study is, therefore, concerned with the development of a picosecond laser which provides pulses at 1052, 1061.5, and 1073.7 nm. Lasing at 1052, 1061.5, 1064, and 1073.7 nm was achieved by varying the angle between the resonator axis and the normal to the etalon by four degrees. Attention is given to the measurement of the lengths of the ultrashort pulses, and the transverse distribution of the energy in the second harmonic for the wavelength 1052 nm. The discretely tunable picosecond Nd:YAG laser described appears to be a promising tool for many research applications. 9 references.
