Influence of the Cr⁴⁺:YAG Saturable Absorber Parameters on Output Characteristics of the Nd³⁺:LSB Laser in Q-Switched Regime
Maxim A. Belov, Leonid I. Burov, and Liubou G. Krylova

Travelling wave model has been used to describe Q-switched regimes in Nd³⁺:LSB laser with Cr⁴⁺:YAG saturable absorber. It has been shown that initial transmission is not a universal characteristics of the saturable absorber. For the same initial transmission, the usage of thinner absorbers with higher concentration of Cr atoms turns out to be energetically more preferable.

Key words: microchip laser, passive Q-switching, laser dynamics, distributed dynamical system, traveling wave model
