title: Control of temporal and spectral jitter in single mode pulsed ND:YAG oscillators.
abstract: We report reliable operation of a repetitively pulsed (3 pps) passively Q-switched Nd:YAG oscillator on a single longitudinal mode with a high degree of temporal and spectral stability. The total output is 3.5 mJ in a 7-ns bandwidth limited pulse with diffraction limited divergence of 0.33 mrad.
