The electro-optic Q-switching device for medical high power laser depends on the relation between the population inversion and the Q-switching time. The polarization changes in applied voltage must be experimented to use each $LiNbO_3$ crystal for Q-switching in high power laser.

The output characteristics of a laser-diode pumped electrooptic Q-switched Nd:YAG ceramic laser were investigated. The output energy of a Q-switched Nd:YAG ceramic laser was optimized under an output coupler reflectivity of 77%, a laser-diode pulse width of $1,000\;{\mu}s$, and a delay time of $985\;{\mu}s$. The output energy of the Q-switched pulse was measured to be 0.35 mJ with a pulse width of 4 ns under a pump energy of 17.9 mJ. The output efficiency and the peak power were 1.9% and 87.5 kW, respectively.
