An end-pumped Nd:YAG 946 nm laser with pulse duration of 1.6 ns, output energy of 2.5 mJ, and pulse repetition rate of 50 Hz is described. Such a combination of the parameters achieved has become possible due to the implementation of the cavity-dumping mode.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
