Abstract: Picosecond light pulses were generated at frequencies up to 10 Hz using a KY(WO₄)₂:Nd³⁺ crystal as the active medium. The duration of a single pulse was measured to be τ = 10 psec and the width of the emission spectrum was Δν = 1.8 cm^–1. Emission of fundamental-frequency radiation was accompanied by stimulated Raman scattering in the active medium.
