“…Because none of the EOS crystals could ensure normal operation of the laser, instead of a half-wave EOS, as in Ref. 10, it was decided to use a 90°quartz polarization rotator (Fig. 3) and to use an AOS in the opposite mirror of the cavity, with nonsymmetrical placement of the AE.…”

The possibility of suppressing the radiation depolarization that appears in the active element of a YAG:Nd 3 laser pumped by linear laser-diode arrays with a pump-pulse-repetition rate of 1 kHz has been experimentally investigated. It is shown that the total suppression of the depolarization of the laser radiation is impeded by the appearance of birefringence in the crystals of the electrooptic shutters and the active medium of the Faraday rotator. This paper discusses the layout of a cavity with beam splitting at the polarization components, which made it possible to obtain an output pulse energy at the second harmonic greater than 10 mJ with intracavity conversion of radiation with a pulse width of 25 ns.

“…Unlike Ref. 10, the split beams are reunited not by three but by two mirrors. Therefore, the beams are not re-rotated in space from right to left in the AE.…”
