Abstract

A new generation of diode-pumped solid-state microlasers — passively Q-switched microchip lasers — are promising sources of coherent single-mode radiation in applications requiring short pulses with energies of several microjoules at peak powers of tens of kilowatts. The authors present their own results on the growth and testing of YAG-Nd/YAG-Cr and GGG-Nd/GGG-Cr epitaxial structures as active media for passively Q-switched microchip lasers.
