Abstract
Analytical expressions for all key parameters of the optimally coupled Q-switched laser are derived. These parameters include the optimal reflectivity of the output mirror, the optimal initial transmission of the dye, and the maximum attainable output energy and corresponding peak power and pulse width for a given pump level. Meanwhile, according to the optimization theory of dye Q-switched lasers, a NAB miniature dye Q-switched laser is studied experimentally and experiment shows a good agreement with the theory
