Abstract
Lasing regimes of a Nd : glass laser with passive Q switching and self-phas e conjugation in an active medium and a LiF : F-2(-) crystal are studied. I t is demonstrated that the use of a spatial-angular selector based on a Sag nac interferometer and additional amplification allow the generation of sin gle-mode radiation with an energy in a train of pulses higher than 15 J, a peak power of a single pulse in a train up to 1.4 MW, the spatial brightnes s exceeding 10(14) W/cm(2) sr, and the coherence length in excess of 5 m.
