Temporal characteristics of solid-state lasers in free-running mode

Consider 3 levels:

  Temporal characteristics of solid-state lasers in free-running mode

Picture 1.

  Temporal characteristics of solid-state lasers in free-running mode ,

  Temporal characteristics of solid-state lasers in free-running mode ,

and durations have the following limits:

  Temporal characteristics of solid-state lasers in free-running mode ,   Temporal characteristics of solid-state lasers in free-running mode .

  Temporal characteristics of solid-state lasers in free-running mode where   Temporal characteristics of solid-state lasers in free-running mode .

The field intensity in the free generation mode is:

Figure 2.

The figure shows the multitouch operation.

The reasons for the multi-peg nature in the free generation mode are:

  • the interaction of neighboring stoves;
  • non-uniform relaxation;
  • quantization.

If you reduce the quality factor, the stoves will change and decrease:

To obtain a single-pulse operation mode, which is necessary both in measurements and in engineering, 2 methods are used:

1 - Q modulation method;

2 - method of synchronization of longitudinal modes.

Q-factor modulation method.

The modulator is as follows:

2 - with shutdown.

The good quality modulation in the old technique was carried out mechanically.

The pulse duration in the Q-switching mode is as follows:

In Q-switched mode, the pumping is as follows:
