Energy reduction:a technique for seed-injection locking of single-axial-mode Q-switched Nd:YAG laser

A new technique for seed-injection locking of single-axial-mode (SAM) Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is re- ported.The technique called energy reduction (ER) is utilized when SAM operation is locked to design its feedback scheme.This method ensures long-term 100% seed-injection locking performance and the pulsed SAM output energy can reach as high as 200 mJ.Both temporal and spatial interferometric experiments have been executed to confirm the SAM oscillation.     

High peak power first,second, and third order Stokes pulses based on intracavity self-stimulated Raman scattering lasers

<正>We obtain high peak power pulses in megawatt range of the first(1181 nm),second(1321 nm),and third order(1500 nm) Stokes radiation from self-conversion of the 1067-nm laser radiation based on Nd:KGW laser.The maximum output energy of the first order Stokes laser is 35.3 mJ,which is to our knowledge, the highest reported energy in an intracavity Q-switched laser.The third order Stokes pulse is obtained in an intracavity Q-switched laser.     

Development of an injection-seeded single-frequency laser by using the phase modulated technique

An injection-seeded single-frequency Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is accomplished by using a phase modulated rampfire technique. A RbTiOPO_4(RTP) electro-optic crystal is selected for effective optical path length modulation of the slave self-filtering unstable resonator. This single-frequency laser is capable of producing 50 m J pulse energy at 1 Hz repetition rate with a pulse width of 16 ns. The standard deviation of laser pulse intensity for consecutive 100 shots from the mean pulse intensity is less than 1.05%. A spectral linewidth of less than 0.5 pm with a frequency jitter of about 14 fm over30 min is obtained.
