摘要: Abstract We demonstrated that a simple flashlamp pumped Nd:YAG laser, with the insertion of solid state passive elements, can be made source trains (and single pulse) high power picosecond pulses accurate pulse to reproducibility. The combination negative feedback using GaAs together Cr:YAG as saturable absorber in an actively mode-locked laser led stabilizing and stretching train 150 ns compression individual from 83 ps 48 ps. Cavity dumping resulted at energies 300 μJ nearly Gaussian spatial profile repetition rate 5 Hz.
