摘要
Both single-shot and repetitively-operating streak cameras have been used for direct studies of the optical pulses produced by a simultaneously Q-switched and mode-locked cw Nd:YAG laser. Without prelase the mode-locked pulses are observed to be merely highly structured noise-bursts having durations of a few hundred picoseconds while with prelase, short (approximately 100 ps) stable pulses can be obtained at Q-switch repetition rates in excess of 1 kHz. These pulses are compared to those obtainable from the mode-locked laser without Q-switching.
