Abstract
Additive pulse mode locking applied to lamp-pumped Nd:YAG lasers resul ts in an attractive source of picosecond pulses at 1.06 mum or 1.32 mu m with average powers at the Watt level. We provide detailed informati on on construction and operation and give data on performance. A modif ied active stabilization scheme allows not only improved stability of operation but also insight into the dynamics of pulse formation.
