By injecting single subnanosecond pulses into a latent ring-laser oscillator, it is possible to generate highly reproducible intense trains of short pulses from a solid-state laser. In this way, 12-psec pulses are available from a high-repetition-rate Nd/sup 3 +/:YAG laser, whereas Nd/sup 3 +/:phosphate glass reliably produces pulses of <3-psec duration. Further compression of the Nd/sup 3 +/:YAG laser pulses can be accomplished by the insertion of a passive phase modulator into the cavity, yielding pulses of > or =5-psec duration and >3-cm/sup -1/ bnadwidth.
