title: Stable confinement of nanosecond laser pulse in an enhancement cavity.
abstract: We present a technique that enhances the intensity of a nanosecond laser pulse by confining it in an enhancement cavity. The point of the technique is that a weak continuous-wave laser radiation, locked to the enhancement cavity, is injected into a nanosecond injection-locked pulsed laser as a seed. This leads to a stable confinement of the nanosecond pulse in the enhancement cavity. It is demonstrated that the pulsed intensity is enhanced by a factor of 120 for a 40-ns pulse, consistent with the theoretical prediction.
