Effect of Lower-Level Relaxation on the Pulse Generation Performance of Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser

When analyzing and designing Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers, the impact of lower-energy-level relaxation on the pulse waveform is often ignored. This approximation typically does not result in significant deviations when the laser pulse duration is much longer than the relaxation time of the lower energy...
