Abstract

Nd: YAG laser action controlled by a solid target-plasma reflectivity is reported. A quasi-continuous mode-locking pulse train consisting of 26 ± 4 ps pulses was observed using a two-stage laser amplifier and a carbon target. A single pulse energy of 0.2 mJ and a peak power density at the target of about 1011 W/cm2 were measured.
