AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Extensive new research has been carried out at home and abroad. At present, the maximum average power output of pulsed green lasers has exceeded 200W, but most of them use passive Q-switching or acousto-optic Q-switching. Both methods have their inherent shortcomings. Passive Q-switching output single pulse energy is low, and the stability is not high; the speed of acousto-optic Q-switching switching is slow, and the output pulse width is wide, generally exceeding 100ns. These shortcomings limit the application range of lasers

The performance of electro-optic Q-switching is stable, the switching speed is fast, and it is easy to obtain narrow pulses below 20ns. However, due to the limitations of the high-voltage drive source and the Q-switching crystal itself, the repetition rate is low and the average output power is not high.
