Abstract

See full text

The energy of a series of output pulses of a solid state laser pumped by a diode array and triggered by a Q-switch is stabilized and rendered independent of the repetition rate by interrupting the pumping to allow the energy stored in the laser active element to fall at the commencement of an interval between a pair of Q-switch trigger signals that is longer than the interval corresponding to the chosen repetition rate. Before the second of this pair of Q-switch trigger signals occurs, the pumping is recommenced for a duration and at an input level that restore the stored energy to the value required for generating output pulses of the laser at the desired energy level.
