Abstract

Compact diode end-pumped acousto-optically Q-switched Nd:YLF laser was developed. As in effective CW diode end-pumped lasers, pump beam was made sufficiently narrower than resonator Gaussian mode to increase efficiency in Q-switched operation. The dramatic changes of output radiation structure were observed at some resonator lengths. The radiation structure is close to the Gaussian mode in intervals between these lengths.
