Abstract
We report high-resolution measurements of the spatial variation of the optical frequency of an injection-seeded unstable-resonator Q-switche d Nd:YAG laser. Images of the second harmonic taken through a molecula r-iodine notch filter show frequency variations of as much as 100 MHz (second harmonic) between the center and the edge of the beam.
