Abstract

Summary form only given. Pulse dynamics of passive Q-switched solid-state microchips - lasers and microchips - lasers with intracavity Raman conversion is investigated experimentally and theoretically. It is shown, that intracavity Raman conversion in microchips -lasers is a simple and effective method of generation of short pulses and peak power up to several tens of kW. At the fundamental wavelength microchips, lasers generate subnanosecond pulses with energy about several muJ.
