A laser diode pumped Cr4+:YAG repetitively and passively Q-switched Nd
3+:S-FAP laser is studied theoretically and experimentally. The pulse
energies, pulsewidths and pulse repetition rates in different conditio
ns are measured and the experimental results are in agreement with the
theoretical predictions on the whole. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
