โฆ Synopsis
We have designed a high-average-power diode-side-pumped Nd:YAG laser acousto-optically Q-switched at a pulse repetition rate range of 5-20 kHz. Double synchronized Q-switches were used for increasing the hold-off current and obtained more than 200 W average output power at 10 kHz and 110 ns pulse duration with more than 80% Q-switching efficiency and 20% optical-optical efficiency and instability of laser was 1%. The effects of various configurations of resonator on hold-off current of the laser have been experimentally studied.
