Watt-level, kHz pulsed ASE source with pulse-width close to round-trip time based on Nd:GdVO4 bounce geometry

Rui Guo, Mingming Nie, Mali Gong

We demonstrate a watt-level, kHz nanosecond-pulse ASE source with its pulse-width being close to its round-trip time. The ASE uses a Nd:GdVO4 high gain bounce geometry structure wi…
