Abstract :
Generation of 40 ps optical pulses was demonstrated with a peak power of up to 45 W in a single mode, and of up to 380 W from broad area laser diode. Such optical power was achieved in Q-switching regime by means of a saturable absorber formed inside the laser cavity by deep implantation of heavy ions.
