摘要: A method of obtaining high peak power pulses from a ruby laser oscillator by controlling the resonant cavity Q with spinning reflector technique is described. Basic principles are discussed. theory regarding multiple pulse problem slow switching presented. Practical methods eliminating critical alignment procedures and increasing effective speed explained. Experimental data relating to effect parameters output transmission, crystal temperature, pump energy, separation upon energy Results experiments at temperatures ranging -20°F 140°F given. Application optical Described an experimental rangefinder designed fabricated show feasibility for military application.
