Abstract
An experimental investigation was made of multispike lasing regimes in various pulsed Nd3+ lasers Q-switched using a movable passive switch based on an yttrium scandium gallium garnet crystal containing Cr4+ ions. The results indicate that these passive switches should make it possible to develop Nd3+ lasers with high average and peak powers.
