Abstract

An investigation was made of the energy characteristics of a YAG:Nd3+ laser subjected to pulse-periodic pumping and to passive Q switching of a resonator by an LiF crystal containing color centers. A comparison was made of the energy of giant laser pulses obtained using passive and electrooptic switches when the pump pulse repetition frequency was up to 50 Hz. The use of a passive switch made of an LiF: crystal under optimal lasing conditions did not reduce the energy of the output pulses of the laser compared with that attainable using an electrooptic Q switch.
