Abstract
The polarization state of a solid-state neodymium laser with a Cr4+:YA G passive Q switch and a partial polarizer is investigated. It is demo nstrated that polarization properties of radiation are determined by t he anisotropy of nonlinear absorption induced in the Cr(4+)YAG passive Q switch. The results of calculations agree well with the experimenta l data.
