Abstract :
The results of single frequency high repetition rate (up to 111 kHz) subnanosecond pulses generation investigated both theoretically and experimentally for solid-state diode-pumped microchip laser on YVO4:Nd3+ with passive Q-switch on garnet doped by Cr4+ are presented. The single frequency generation process is also discussed in this paper.
