Abstract
The results of the experimental study of Nd3+ : YAG lasers with frustrated total internal reflection (FTIR) Q-switches are presented. The possibility of different types of the laser cavities to generate different shapes of la ser pulses was investigated, Special attention was paid to the lasing with long (up to microsecond range) pulses. Computer simulation of the Lasing pr ocesses was done, and they demonstrated good agreement with the experiment.
