Abstract
The microchip laser concept opens up new opportunities for diode-pumped solid-state lasers including pulsed operation. It implies a laser crystal with two flat mirrors attached or directly coated on its end faces, resulting in a compact setup insensitive to misalignment and a low loss cavity [1]. The extension of this idea can be the insertion of a saturable absorber (SA) for passive Q-switching with the benefit of short pulse generation [2].
