Abstract
Optimization of the laser performance of the Q- switched lasers resulting in maximal output pulse energy and/or minimal pulse width has got much attention in the recent years.1,2 Here we present an usable and demonstrative theoretical approach and its practical application to the optimization of the passively Q-switched Er:glass laser emitting in the so called “eye-safe” spectral range around 1.5 μm.
