Part of the book series: Springer Series in Optical Sciences ((SSOS,volume 193))

Abstract

Presented are results of the theoretical and experimental investigation of the Nd+3:YAG microchip laser with passive Q-switch modulation based on Cr+4. The laser operation is analyzed within the operator model of a microchip laser with an active output mirror based on Fabry-Perot interferometer. The feasibility of control over temporal and spatial characteristics of micro-chip laser radiation is demonstrated. The experimental and theoretical results are in a good agreement.
