Abstract:
Experimental investigation of single and dual pulses in a passively Q-switched Nd:YAG microchip laser with a Cr4+:YAG saturable absorber has been reported. The dual pulses consist of a main and a satellite pulse with respective spectra, intensities, and durations. It is found that the preponderant oscillating mode gives birth to the main pulse, and the other oscillating mode corresponds to the satellite pulse. Our results demonstrate that the dual-pulse emission results from double-longitudinal-mode oscillation in high pump regime.
