Abstract

A Cr⁴⁺:Gd₃Sc₂Ga₃O₁₂ (Cr⁴⁺:GSGG) broad-band saturable absorber has been demonstrated to be an excellent passive Q-switch for the flashlamp-pumped tunable Cr ³⁺:LiCaAlF₆ (Cr:LiCAF) laser at room temperature. A single Q-switched laser output pulse of 11 mJ in energy and 37 ns in duration at 778 nm was obtained in a nonoptimized laser.
