“…The same drawbacks are also inherent to devices in which an AE of diminished diameter is used. 6 If radiators with low pulse-repetition rate (to 0.5 Hz) are used, the additional pulse can be eliminated without substantially reducing the output energy by misaligning the mirror and thus reducing the Q of the cavity. However, this method cannot be used when the laser operates in a wide range of repetition rates (from 0.1 to 20 Hz), because a variable thermal lens and thermocline are induced in the AE, and these affect the Q of the cavity.…”

This paper proposes a method for improving the quality of the pulse generated by an erbium laser by means of a slit stop formed in the active element. It presents results obtained for a radiator with diode pumping, operating in a wide range of pulse-repetition rates from single pulses to 10 Hz. EXPERIMENTAn analysis of the pump-energy distribution inside the AE showed that, both in the case of lamp pumping and in the case of laser-diode pumping, the pumped zone has the 182
