Abstract

We investigated the output characteristics of Nd:YAG lasers at wavelength of 1444 nm, which were pumped by 450 Xe-flashlamp, 700 torr Xe-flashlamp and 700 torr Kr-flashlamp. With a Xe-flashlamp of 700 torr of gas pressure, the pulse energy of 0.738 J was obtained with repetition rate of 9.16 Hz and pumping pulse width of 400 ms. In case pumping pulse width of 5 ms and repetition rate of 1 Hz, 700 torr Kr-flashlamp showed the highest pulse energy of 1.44 J.
