摘要：

In this paper, an electro-optical cavity-dumped 10 Hz Nd:Y3Al5O12 (Nd:YAG) laser was demonstrated. We designed an optimized high stable concavo-convex cavity according to the thermal-insensitive theory that the cavity could be deep stable and be insensitive to the change of thermal lens of laser crystal when g(1)*g(2) = 1/2. The output pulse width was constant at 6.0+/-0.1 ns. The maximum output energy was 40 mJ. The laser had outstanding stability of output characteristics. The fluctuations of average output energy and divergence angle within 8 cycles were 1.24% and 0.06 mrad, respectively. (C) 2012 by Astro, Ltd.
