| Abstract: | An intracavity array of individually controlled microelectromechanical system scanning micromirrors was used to actively Q-switch a single side-pumped Nd:YAG gain medium. Two equal power independent laser outputs were simultaneously obtained by separate actuation of two adjacent micromirrors with a combined average output power of 125?mW. Pulse durations of 28?ns FWHM at 8.7?kHz repetition frequency and 34?ns FWHM at 7.9?kHz repetition frequency were observed for the two output beams with beam quality factors M2 of 1.2 and 1.1 and peak powers of 253?W and 232?W, respectively. |
