Abstract

Numerical simulation of a passive Q-switching operation in the multiloop self-phase-conjugated Nd:YAG laser pumped by 2D diode stacks is carried out. The Q-switching operation is caused firstly by gain-grating diffraction efficiency modulation that is intensified and stabilized by modulation of the passive Q-switch transmission.
