✦ Synopsis

In this paper, the rate equation models, which have been used for describing the high repetitive Q-switched intracavity doubling of Nd:YAG laser, are represented. According to these models and onthe basis of resonator length as the most important parameter for designation of the laser system, a computational procedure (block diagram), which is applied for determination of the doubling intracavity resonator specifications of the Nd:YAG laser, has been provided. According to the resonator length the beam quality inside the resonator for second harmonic generation of Nd:YAG laser in different output powers has been calculated. The results for several green output powers of the laser are compared with the experimental data, and good agreement is obtained.
