We have examined the advantages of using Nd/sup 3 +//YAG as an amplifier for a approx.6 psec FWHM pulse generated by a mode-locked Nd/sup 3 +//glass oscillator. The Nd/sup 3 +//glass oscillator pulse is characterized by 100 cm/sup -1/ bandwidth at 1060 nm with variable temporal substructure. Passage of this pulse through a Nd/sup 3 +//YAG rod resulted in wavelength-selected amplification of the specific Nd/sup 3 +//YAG lines located within the envelope of the Nd/glass pulse. The result is a 100-fold amplified pulse consisting of two bands at 1061 nm and 1064 nm, each <3 cm/sup -1/ in bandwidth with an average duration of 6 psec and as low as 4 psec.
