“…Gain control of an active/passive mode-locked Nd:glass laser has given very short laser pulses (about 10 ps) and diode pumped Nd:YAG lasers have generated mode-locked pulses as short as 8.5 ps [7]. We have used the technique of cavity dumping [8][9][10] to achieve more than a millijoule energy in the single modelocked pulse from a flash lamp pumped Nd:YAG laser. In this technique, internal gain switching has been done using a single intra-cavity electro-optic modulator to dump the single pulse which builds up in the cavity with a high peakto-background contrast.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5] Negative feedback (NF) operation results in almost 100% mode locking and high-contrast pulses generation at the output due to controlled prolongation of the nonlinear stage of lasing. The pulse intensity in the cavity can be maintained by NF on the level when considerable pulse compression would occur.…”

The results of optimisation of active and passive negative feedback (NF) for generation of stable compressed picosecond pulse trains in Nd:glass and Nd:YAG lasers using a modulator driven by fast photomultiplier and a GaAs passive element are presented. Conditions of prolonged pulse trains generation with the duration of trains varied from 0.3 µs to 200 µs depending on parameters of active NF were investigated. Generation of long (1000 ns) pulse trains in passive NF regime was obtained. Pulse compression in active and passive NF regimes (from 8 ps to 1.4 ps and from 35 ps to 13 ps, respectively) was achieved.
