Generation of high-power nanosecond pulses from a Q-switched Nd:YAG oscillator using intracavity-injecting technique.
The application of an intracavity-injecting technique to a Q-switched Nd:YAG oscillator for efficiently generating high-power nanosecond pulses is described. Nanosecond pulses produced are synchronizable, reproducible, and remarkably stable. Applications of the technique to other types of lasers are discussed.
