  • Abstract
    We have achieved stable Fourier transform limited single axial mode operation of an unstable resonator Nd:YAG oscillator by injection seeding of an external signal. A detailed theoretical and experimental treatment of axial mode selection via injection seeding is presented. Our study shows that the axial mode selection process in Q -switched lasers via injection seeding is quite different from the frequency locking in CW lasers via injection locking.
