The 500 ns, 5.52 mJ single-frequency, diffraction-limited pulses are obtained by using a ‘ramp-fire' injection-seeding technique and an optical feedback architecture. The full width at half-maximum of the pulse spectrum is measured to be 1.47 MHz by using the heterodyne technique. The beam quality M2 factors are measured to be 1.18 and 1.24 in the x and y directions, respectively.展开更多

Its transmitter subsystem applies a Nd:YAG pulse laser which is injected with a single longitudinal-mode diode pumped continuous seeder laser. The field experiment proved that this velocimeter measurement results are consistent with those measured by photoelectric velocimeter. Measurements of eight different velocities show that the standard deviation is 0.56m/s, the range resolution is 3.75m.展开更多

With the same electrical energy pumping, the multi- operation laser oscillator provides different output energies and pulse durations for different OMs. In the Q-switching mode, the output coupling is optimized for different electrical energy pumping. The laser oscillator operation can be switched between different modes conveniently. The multi-operation laser sources could be operated in multiple OMs for various research and application requirements.展开更多

The laser oscillator is injection-seeded by a single-frequency narrow linewidth Er∶Y_(3)Al_(5)O_(12)(Er:YAG) nonplanar ring oscillator and frequency stabilized by the modified Pound–Drever–Hall method. The pulse repetition rate can be set from 100 to 500 Hz with the frequency stability from 82.72 kHz to 134.44 kHz and pulse energy from 9.84 mJ to 19.55 mJ. To our knowledge, this is the best frequency stability of a single-frequency pulsed laser with injection-seeding.展开更多
