Abstract :
Stimulated-Brillouin-Scattering (SBS) provides passive Q-switching of a Nd:YAG-laser. Mode-coupling was actively supported by an AOM. Numerical simulations based on spectrally resolved rate equations including SBS-Stokes-shift and mode-locking explain special spectral features of this laser.
