Abstract
An efficient high-order mode selection in a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser was demonstrated using various intracavity phase elements. The laser consisted of a stable plano-concave resonator, a flashpump pumped 5 mm diameter Nd:YAG rod, and a Q-switch scheme. The scheme comprised of a polarizer-electrooptical crystal waveplate, and an aperture to limit the number of high order modes. Results indicated that high gain and short pulse duration have minor effect on the laser configuration operating with a high-order mode.
