Highly efficient, compact diode-pumped acousto-optically Q-switched 1.064-{mu}m Nd{sup 3+}:YAG laser operating in cw and pulsed regimes

The advantages and limitations of using highly bright laser diodes for pumping low- and moderate-power solid-state Nd{sup 3+}:YAG lasers are considered. The practice of designing cw and pulsed, acousto-optically Q-switched solid-state lasers is analysed and their possible applications are discussed....

Zusammenfassung:The advantages and limitations of using highly bright laser diodes for pumping low- and moderate-power solid-state Nd{sup 3+}:YAG lasers are considered. The practice of designing cw and pulsed, acousto-optically Q-switched solid-state lasers is analysed and their possible applications are discussed. The efficiency of a cw laser achieved 50%. (lasers)
