  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. A self-adaptive holographic laser with a non-reciprocal loop element in Nd:YVO4 with quasi-continuous wave (QCW) diode-pumping is presented in this study. Results show that the QCW diode-pumped adaptive laser can provide a useful source of high peak power, nanosecond duration pulses with high spatial quality and narrow SLM spectrum.
