Iodine laser with active Q-switching
Abstract
The inversion storage, development time, spectrum composition, divergence, and shape of the light pulse of an iodine laser with active Q switching are investigated. An iodine laser with 8 mm beam diameter, 0.2J energy, and approximately 5 nsec duration of an individual light pulse spike is produced.
