Abstract
Stable passive -switching of a laser is obtained using polycrystalline as a saturable absorber. The achieved maximum pulse energy of 0.9 mJ and peak power of 65 kW for a pulse duration of represent substantial improvement and highest values for a passively -switched diode-pumped Tm laser operating at .
