Abstract:
We demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, active Q-switching in self-adaptive, reciprocal, closed-loop, diode-side-pumped Nd:YAG slab laser. Pulse energy of 19 mJ with 9.5 ns pulse duration, corresponding to 2 MW of peak power with near-diffraction-limited beam quality was achieved.
