Abstract :
Using two Pockels cells, a single-picosecond-duration light pulse generated by a mode-locked Nd:glass laser was time synchronized with a 50-100-ns-duration -switched ruby-laser pulse. The picosecond pulse was reliably placed in the early part of the rise of the -switched pulse, and could be delayed to any later time.
