Abstract

Single axial mode Q-switched pulse generation at 1.052 μm in Nd:YAG by self seeding with free running spikes is discussed. The Nd:YAG, having plane parallel faces without anti-reflection coatings, exhibits modulation-free spikes in the free running regime. By allowing the Q-switching to take place, when the radiation field of any of these pulses is present in the resonator, very reliable and reproducible modulation-free Q-switched pulses are obtained.
