摘要

The timing jitter of passively Q-switched Nd:Y₃Al₅O₁₂/Cr⁴⁺:Y₃Al₅O₁₂ (Nd:YAG/Cr⁴⁺:YAG) laser is studied both numerically and experimentally. It is found that spontaneous noise in the microwatt range can significantly affect the repetition rate of high-power Q-switched lasers, and creates large pulse-to-pulse timing jitter. External modulation on the Cr⁴⁺:YAG saturable absorber by a laser diode is proposed to alleviate this jitter problem. Reduction in timing jitter by a factor of 2.5 is demonstrated.
