Picosecond Pulses and YAG Laser Systems

Abstract

The report discusses the investigation of the frequency stability characteristic of single-frequency Nd:YAG lasers. Technical Results reported include the locking of a single-frequency Nd:YAG laser to the bandpass of a high finesse Fabry-Perot interferometer, the unification of etalon thermal tuning of the laser for course frequency control, the construction of a second single- frequency laser, and the heterodyning of the two single-frequency YAG lasers at a variable frequency offset.
