Abstract

This paper presents the results of experimental studies on Q-switched flash-lamp pumped Nd:YAG laser with resonator formed by volume Bragg gratings. This novel design results in single-frequency mode operation with millijoules pulse energy. The mode selection is performed only by volume Bragg gratings that dramatically simplifies laser design.
