Abstract
Generation of 40-ps optical pulses was demonstrated with a peak power of up to 45 W in a single mode and of up to 380 W from a broad-area laser diode. Such optical power was achieved in the Q-switching regime by means of a saturable absorber formed inside the laser cavity by deep implantation of heavy ions
