Abstract

The Q-switching oscillator of TE $M_{00}$ mode was constructed in order to improve the properties of energy focusing and amplification, and prevent laser materials from breakdown. The Q-switching was done by means of electro-optical effect using Glan prism and KDP Pockels cell. Sharp laser pulse of risetime-1 ns and variable pulse width 2-10 ns was obtained from Q-switching laser pulse by PTM method using a laser triggered spark gap (LTSG), Glan prism and Pockels cell. A single ultra-short pulse (picosec order in pulse width) was obtained from mode-locked pulse train in combination of a mode-locked oscillator using saturable dye cell with pulse shaping system using PTM method.d.
