On the possibility of solid-state 946 nm Nd:YAG laser with high peak and average power development

Abstract

We investigated the possibility of a solid-state 946 nm Nd:YAG laser with high peak and average power with target parameters: 70 mJ, 50 Hz development. For Q-switching we applied the electro-optical modulator, based on RKTP. In this paper we report about the enhancing of system efficiency and output energy.
