Abstract :
We report on experimental investigation of various methods for pulse control and pulse jitter stabilization in Cr:ZnSe passively Q-switched Ho:YAG lasers. We explore methods of synchronous pump power modulation and application of dual passive/active Q-switch. Pulse jitter <;0.1% and precise pulse control of PQS Ho:YAG laser has been achieved.
