摘要：
We report on flashlamp pumped oscillator - three amplifiers Nd:YAG picosecond laser system in which the liquid saturable dye used for passive mode locking is replaced by semiconductor saturable absorber with multiple quantum well (MQW) structure. This element placed at Brewster angle inside a laser resonator had 100 layers of absorber and therefore it has high nonlinearity and is suitable for high power Q-switched and mode locked operation. The short pulse train from oscillator contained only 5-6 pulses with total energy of 3 mJ in single transversal mode, the pulse duration was 80 ps. After amplification, the maximum energy of the pulse train was 180 mJ. In the regime of the amplification of a single selected pulse the energy on the output of the third amplifier was 50 mJ. Operation of the oscillator in active-passive regime of mode locking using an additional acousto-optic mode-locker leads to improvement of reproducibility and stability of output parameters.
