Abstract

30-pps 30-mJ 10-ns FWHM pulses have been obtained in Nd:YAG laser systems with LiF crystal containing $F_{2}^{-}$ color centers as the passive Q-Switch modulator. The saturation level of $F_{2}^{-}$ color centers in the host crystal and the annealing phenomena of LiF: $F_{2}^{-}$ crystal were investigated. These observations make this room temperature stable color center crystal superb as a high power, high repetition rate neodymium laser passive modulator.
