摘要
A single-longitudinal-mode （SLM） laser-diode pumped Nd： YAG laser with adjustable pulse width is developed by using the techniques of pre-lasing and changing polarization of birefingent crystal The Q-switching voltage is triggered by the peak of the pre-lasing pulse to achieve the higher stability of output pulse energy. The output energy of more than I mJ is obtained with output energy stability of 3% （rms） at lOO Hz. The pulsewidth can be adjusted from 30ns to 300ns by changing the Q-switching voltage. The probability of putting out single-longitudinal-mode pulses is almost 100%. The laser can be run over four hours continually without mode hopping.
