Abstract

Diode lasers provide ideal pump sources tor the Nd:YAG laser providing high efficiency, good stability, and reliability.1 Diode-pumped Nd:YAG lasers have provided single-frequency operation with an exceptionally narrow linewidth2,3 and have been Q-switched to provide high-power single-frequency radiation.4 We have been investigating the performance of the diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser as a source of picosecond light pulses. The Nd:YAG can be readily operated at 1.06 or 1.32 μm and provides an ideal source of regenerative amplification. The 1.32-μm source may be useful in OTDR studies on fibers.
