“…Solid state lasers with kilohertz (kHz) level pulse repetition frequency (PRF), sub nanosecond (ns) pulse width (PW), and pulse energy higher than 1 milijoule (mJ) are very attractive for a variety of applications, such as laser ranging, microprocessing, nonlinear frequency conversion, photoacoustic imaging, surface physics, and material science. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Many techniques, including electro-optical (EO) Qswitching, passive Q-switching using saturable absorber, [9,10] mode-locking, [11] and stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), [12] can be used to build the lasers with PW at ns or picosecond level. In comparison with the others, EO Q-switched lasers have a lot of advantages, e.g., better controllability, easy-to-realize synchronization, high stability and reliability, etc.…”
