SELECTION AND AMPLIFICATION OF A SINGLE MODEhyphen;LOCKED OPTICAL PULSE

摘要

Asingle pulsewas selected from the train of modehyphen;locked pulses of a Ndhyphen;glass laser using optics external to the oscillator cavity. Its pulse width was measured by the twohyphen;photon fluorescence technique to be 10 to 15 psec with and without amplification. From energy measurements, the amplified singlehyphen;pulse power was determined to be typically 30 GW.
