  • Abstract
    A simple three-mirror resonator is considered for longitudinal mode control in a passively Q -switched Nd:YAG laser. This configuration provides temporally smooth output pulses with duration determined by dye concentration and continuously variable from 300 to 10 ns. Previous problems with spatial beam quality can be minimized by careful arrangement of cavity components.
