Pulse Duration and Profile

Reduction of the pulse duration of a high-power neodymium glass laser using nonlinear LiF filters

M. E. Brodov, A. L. Galkin, A. V. Ivanov, P. P. Pashinin

Abstract: A calculation method for a model phosphate-glass laser system is used to show that the duration of a smooth bell-shaped pulse can be reduced from 30 to 3–8 nsec by using saturable filters in the amplifying channel.
