Abstract
A compact 1064/532-nm diode-pumped pulse-periodic YAG:Nd laser is described. Its parameters are as follows: the wavelength is 1064 nm, the pulse energy is 1.2 J, the pulse duration is 5 ns, the pulse repetition rate is 100 Hz, and the beam divergence is ≤1.6 mrad. The laser light efficiency is 12%, and the full efficiency of the laser system is 4%. Two lasing modes are realized in the laser: at the fundamental frequency and with the frequency conversion into the second harmonic at a wavelength of 532 nm and a pulse energy of 0.3 J.
