Abstract

The performance of an active-passive mode-locked and mechanically Q-switched Nd: glass laser is investigated. The mechanical chopper used for Q-switching reduces the temporal pulse train jitter. The acousto-optic modulator stabilizes the pulse trains. The wavelength tuning from 1048.5 nm to 1069.5 nm for a Nd: phosphate glass (Schott LG-703) and from 1056.2 nm to 1078.3 nm for a Nd: silicate glass (Schott LG 680) is achieved with a 5 mm thick single-plate birefringent filter.
