Abstract
A laser was constructed in which the active element was a Y3Al5O12:Nd3+ crystal placed in a dispersive resonator. This crystal emitted tunable radiation as a result of the 4F3/2→4I11/2 (λ = 1.064 μ) and 4F3/2→4I13/2 (λ = 1.318, 1.338, and 1.356 μ) transitions when the Q factor of the resonator was modulated by an electrooptic lithium niobate switch. The energy and time characteristics of the emitted lines were determined. When the pumping threshold was exceeded by a factor of 3, the energy of the output pulses at λ = 1.318 μ was comparable with the energy of the λ = 1.064 μ pulses. The duration of the pulses increased from 10 nsec (for the first transition) to 40–45 nsec (for the 4F3/2→4I13/2 transition).
