Abstract
Compact high energy picosecond pulse sources are of interest for a wide range of applications including Lidar, sensing, spectroscopy, free space communications and for the pumping of nonlinear optical systems. For some of these applications, multicontact Q-switched diode lasers have been investigated as they can generate high energy picosecond pulses at a wide range of repetition rates.1
