Title: Influence of self-focusing on the operation of a neodymium glass laser

Journal Article · · Sov. J. Quant. Electron. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

An acetone-filled cell was placed inside the resonator of a neodymium laser. A slight inclination of the nontransmitting laser mirror made it possible to emit single giant pulses of 0.3 MW power and 50 nsec duration. This was attributed to self-focusing and splitting of the beam into separate filaments.
