Abstract
Energy output of 400 mJ, an order of magnitude higher than reported pr eviously is obtained in a Q-switched flashlamp-pumped Nd3+:KGd(WO4)(2) laser. No pronounced saturation of the output energy with respect to the pump energy is observed. Multiwavelength operation due to efficien t Stokes conversion in the laser crystal is demonstrated.
