Abstract

A method and the device for obtaining a high peak output power laser with the ns-regime pulse are presented. A Q-switched laser with a novel configuration and a special Q-switched method for the resonator energy storage are proposed. We put a piece of glass with a small hole and special parameters into the resonator which is composed of two totally reflective mirrors in order to obtain the coupling output and realize the step alternation of Q value from "1" to "0" in the resonator. The photons emit out ofthe resonator after a transmission back and forth so as that the output laser pulses with a few ns lifetime are obtained. Simultaneously, the output laser distributes with a circle-axisymmetic pattern and demonstrates good space-transmission and focusing characteristics.
