Abstract :
Liquid phase epitaxy technique is used to grow Cr4+ doped GGG and YAG monocrystalline thin films as a saturable absorber for passive Q-switching of Nd:GGG, Yb:YAG and Nd:YAG microchip lasers. Comparison of laser performance and influence of epitaxial film saturable absorber properties on microchip characteristics (repetition rate, pulse energy and pulse length) are reported.
