Abstract

The idea of using an energy limiting process such as two photon absorption to increase the pulse duration of Q-switched lasers is not recent. The idea, demonstrated in Refs. 1,2, and 3, is to use the two-photon absorber as an energy limiter to prevent the high peak intensity normally present in a Q-switched laser.
