Abstract

We have examined the advantages of using Nd³⁺/YAG as an amplifier for a ∼6 psec FWHM pulse generated by a mode-locked Nd ³⁺/glass oscillator. The Nd³⁺/glass oscillator pulse is characterized by 100 cm^-1 bandwidth at 1060 nm with variable temporal substructure. Passage of this pulse through a Nd³⁺/YAG rod resulted in wavelength-selected amplification of the specific Nd³⁺/YAG lines located within the envelope of the Nd/glass pulse. The result is a 100-fold amplified pulse consisting of two bands at 1061 nm and 1064 nm, each <3 cm^-1 in bandwidth with an average duration of 6 psec and as low as 4 psec.
