Abstract
We have observed giant pulses from cw pumped, monolithic microchip lasers, several hundred times the cw level, with pulse
lengths less than 2 ns, which cannot be accounted for by conventional
gain switching. These pulses occur as the second longitudinal mode starts
to oscillate and can be described by the inclusion of gain-related effects
in the formation of a stable cavity.
