摘要：
The operational conditions of the OMEGA laser system require an extremely reliable and low-maintenance master oscillator, We have developed a diode-pumped, single-frequency, pulsed Nd:YLF laser for this application. The laser generates Q-switched pulses of similar to 160-ns duration and similar to 10-mu J energy content at the 1053-mn wavelength with, low amplitude fluctuations (<0.6% rms) and low temporal (build-up time) jitter (<7-ns rms), Amplitude and frequency feedback stabilization systems have been used for high long-term amplitude and frequency stability.
