Q -SWITCHED LASER WITH CONTROLLABLE PULSE LENGTH Academic Article

abstract

• Experimental results of a recently proposed technique for obtaining Q-switched laser pulses of controllable length are presented. A lithium iodate doubling crystal inside the cavity of a Nd: YAG laser running at 0.946 is used to provide both output coupling and an easily adjustable, nonlinear loss mechanism. Controllable pulse lengths in the range of 200 nsec to 1 at 0.473 have been achieved at nominally constant energy.
