A new generation of oxide crystals is emerging for electro-optic Q-switching or control of
high-power pulsed lasers. Unlike the acousto-optic Q-switches in which the total turn-off time …

We derive simple and convenient expressions for two-pass saturated amplification with
pulse overlap. These have the same form as the single-pass Franz–Nodvik equations but …

In recent years the growth technologies of only a few inorganic oxide crystals, such as BBO
(BaB 2 O 4), LBO (LiB 3 O 5), and the KTP (KTiOPO 4) group of isomorphic compounds …

An efficient single-frequency Nd: YVO4 master-oscillator power-amplifier is described. Gated
pulses from a CW diode-pumped ring laser were amplified by three Nd: YVO4 amplifiers …

Laser pulses with high repetitive rate generated from a Q-switch microchip Nd: YAG
oscillator were amplified by Active mirror composed of Nd/Cr: YAG ceramic pumped by CW …

We reported a cavity-dumped operation of electro-optical Q-switched Nd: GdVO4 laser at
high repetition rates for the first time. A constant 5.5 ns pulse duration was realized. The …

An optically injected solid state laser (OISSL) system is known to generate complex
nonlinear dynamics within the parameter space of varying the injection strength of the …

The wavelength dependencies of half-wave voltages for both X-and Y-oriented thermally
compensated double-crystal RTP (RbTiOPO 4) Q-switches have been determined by a …

This thesis presents a strategy for power and brightness scaling in diode-end-pumped,
master-oscillator-power-amplifier laser systems, based on Nd: YVO 4. Issues relating to …
