Abstract

The present paper highlights few parameters that optimize the high amplitude regime of the passively Q-switched laser. Numerical results done by other authors showed that this regime can be obtained by the increase the ratio of the effective cross section of the saturable absorber (SA) over that of the gain medium, or the SA concentration. In the present work, we showed that the laser regime optimization depends upon both situation, i.e., the cross section ration and the SA concentration. This work helps provide answers on the other results reported in the literature..
