title: Self-starting additive-pulse mode locking of a Nd:YAG laser.
abstract: We report additive-pulse mode locking of lamp-pumped Nd:YAG lasers at both 1.06 and 1.32 microm. Under completely self-starting conditions, stable cw mode-locked trains of 6-psec pulses have been achieved at an average output power of 2.4 W.
