Passively Mode-Locked Nd-YAG Oscillator Stability Study

Abstract

The stability of the NRL mode-locked Nd-YAG system has been measured and experimentally optimized for long term operation. It was found that the most important parameter was the stability of the dye absorption coefficient. It was also found that it is necessary to increase dye concentration for reliable operation at longer pulse lengths.
