Transverse-mode selection of rotating mirror Q-switched lasers
The TEMoo-mode has been selected in a rotating-mirror Q-switched Nd<sup>3+</sup>:CaWO<sub>4</sub> laser by insertion of a slit and an edge into the resonator. Shot-to-shot repeatability was enhanced, and multiple pulsing was suppressed. The same technique has been successfull...

Summary: | The TEMoo-mode has been selected in a rotating-mirror Q-switched Nd<sup>3+</sup>:CaWO<sub>4</sub> laser by insertion of a slit and an edge into the resonator. Shot-to-shot repeatability was enhanced, and multiple pulsing was suppressed. The same technique has been successfully applied to a CO<sub>2</sub> laser. |
