Coupled cavity modelocking of a Nd:YAG laser using second harmonic generation

The modelocking of a Nd:YAG laser using second-harmonic generation in an external cavity as the only pulse shortening process is reported. The output of a long pulse Nd:YAG laser was simultaneously modelocked and Q-switched. The average pulse duration was 30-50 ps and the peak power was in the range...
