Passive Q-Switching in a Flash-Lamp Pumped Nd∶YAG Laser with Ion-Implanted GaAs Wafer

A passive Q-switched flash-lamp-pumped Nd:YAG laser with the ion-implanted semi-insulating GaAs water is reported．The wafer is implanted with 400keV As~+ ions in the concentration of 10~(16)cm~(-2). Using GaAs wafer as an absorber and an output coupler．62ns pulse duration of single pulse is obtained.
