Short-pulse oscillator development for the Nd:glass laser-fusion systems

Journal Article · · IEEE J. Quant. Electron.; (United States)
This paper describes the development of an actively mode-locked and Q-switched (AMQ) Nd:YAG oscillator system that generates a single pulse at 1.06 ..mu..m in the range of 100 ps to 1 ns, with energy of approx. 250 ..mu..J, and with good stability and reliability. A stable single axial mode Q-switched oscillator is also described that generates a long smooth pulse out of which pulses in the ns range are sliced. Synchronization of these two oscillators is also discussed.
