Abstract

Single-longitudinal-mode and single-transverse-mode operation of a miniature Nd:YAG laser transversely pumped by a quasi-CW diode-laser array is described. By injectionseeding this oscillator with a diode-laser end-pumped Nd:YAG microlaser, single-frequency Q-switched pulses of 0·25 mJ energy and 35 ns duration were generated.
