摘要：
A simple intracavity system, based on electrical discharge, is used to control the shape and duration of transverse electric CO2 laser pulses. The clipping mechanism is based on active locking at the same frequency of the laser. The clipping apparatus can deliver gain switched spikes pulses between the temporal range of 100-110 ns. The peak power of the clipped signal is not reduced. The system is optimized to obtain a maximum efficiency equal to 1, and a jitter value of about 10 ns. In the article the characteristics of electrical system are described. Finally a scheme of the apparatus and experimental results are presented. (C) 2005 American Institute of Physics.
