Nd:YAG laser is one of the most applicable laser for researches and development where it's basic wavelength and harmonics are used on different laser project. It's basic output has a wide pulse duration and low peak power ,therefore in order to increase the peak power the pulse duration is reduced by Q-switching.In this project by means of passive Q-switch technique an energy equivalent to 500 mj with 10to 20 ns pulse duration is extracted from the oscillator and the output energy is amplified to about 850mj in a single pass through amplifier. In this project we used saturable absorber for Q-switching because it is more optimum and simpler than other Q-switching techniques like...
