Characteristics of ruby passive Q switching with a Dy(2+):CaF(2) solid-state saturable absorber.
Characteristics of ruby passive Q switching with a Dy(2+):CaF(2) solid-state saturable absorber are investigated with output couplers of various reflectivities and saturable absorbers of different thicknesses. Numerical simulation is used to investigate the behavior of ruby passive Q switching with a Dy(2+):CaF(2) saturable absorber and to interpret the experimental results.
