Q-switching properties of a laser with a saturable absorber (SA) are investigated. We propose an original method to optimize the transverse concentration profile of the SA inserted in the cavity. The resulting design considerations give the way to an optimal use of the SA over its whole transverse s

By considering the Gaussian spatial distributions of the intracavity photon density and the initial populationinversion density, the coupled rate equations for a diode-pumped passively Q-switched and mode-locked (QML) laser with Cr 4+ :YAG saturable absorber are given. These coupled rate equations a
A xenon ash-lamp-pumped, passively Q-switched Nd:GdVO4 laser with GaAs semiconductor saturable absorber is demonstrated. The static laser performance is investigated and the static output is 52 mJ when the pump energy is 9:45 J. The dynamic laser has the highest slope e ciency when the GaAs wafer is
A laser-diode pumped passively Q-switched new type crystal Nd 3+ :NaY(WO 4 ) 2 (known as Nd:NYW) laser with Cr 4+ :YAG saturable absorber has been realized. The dependence of pulse repetition rate, pulse energy, pulse width, and peak power on pump power for different small-signal transmission of Cr
