Transverse-mode selection of rotating-mirror Q switched lasers |
|
| Abstract: | The TEM00 mode has been selected in a rotating-mirror Q switched Nd +3 : CaWO4 laser by insertion of a slit and an edge into the resonator. Shot-to-shot repeatability was enhanced, and multiple pulsing was suppressed. The same technique has been successfully applied to a CO2 laser. |
