Continuous-wave operation and Q-switched mode locking of Cr(4+):YAG microchip lasers.
Cw-operation, gain-switched, and passively Q -switched mode locking of Cr(4+): YAG microchip lasers with output powers of several hundred milliwatts is demonstrated experimentally in the eye-safe region near 1.5microm . Requirements for cw mode locking of such lasers are investigated by numerical simulations.
