Abstract
The operational conditions of the OMEGA pulse-shaping require an extremely reliable and low-maintenance master oscillator. We have developed a diode-pumped, single- frequency, pulsed Nd:YLF laser for this application. The laser generates Q-switched pulses of approximately 160-ns duration and approximately 10 (mu) J energy content at the 1053-nm wavelength with low amplitude fluctuations and low temporal jitter. Amplitude and frequency feedback stabilization systems have been used for high long-term amplitude and frequency stability.
