Abstract

We propose for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, a coupling method of modes guided by gain waveguides to synchronize two Q switched pulses oscillating in a 1 × 2 array distribution inside a single YAG/Yb:YAG/Cr:YAG resonator. To analyze the temporal synchronization of spatially separated Q switched pulses, the buildup time interval, spatial distribution, and longitudinal modes distribution of the two pulse beams are investigated.
