Abstract: A single-frequency pulse-periodic YAG:Nd³⁺ laser was constructed. Its divergence was ~5×10^–4 rad and the peak output power was ~1 GW in the case of nanosecond pulses. These pulses were generated utilizing stimulated Brillouin scattering for compression of an amplified pulse from a master oscillator.
