METHOD FOR OPERATING DIODE-PUMPED PULSED LASERS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for operating a pulsed diode-pumped solid-state laser comprising: providing a pump light source for pumping a solid-state laser, said pump light source comprising at least one laser diode unit configured for emitting a series of light pulses (105, 106, 107) for pumping the solid-state laser, modulating the series of light emission pulses (105, 106, 107) of the at least one laser diode unit such that only the light pulses (106, 107) with a frequency close to or equal to a requested frequency setting of the solid-state laser are operated with a/the required pulse amplitude and/or a/the required pulse duration to trigger light emission of the solid-state laser, and such that any other light pulses (105) of the at least one laser diode unit are operated to not trigger light emission of the solid-state laser.
