  • Summary

    Many techniques have been developed for the generation of laser pulses over a wide range of pulsewidths from the order of milliseconds to femtoseconds. The generation of a laser pulse is inherently a nonlinear optical process because all of the techniques utilize some form of optical nonlinearity that is coupled to the dynamics of a laser. In this chapter, the basic concepts of the primary techniques for the generation of laser pulses are covered, including gain switching, active and passive Q switching, active and passive mode locking, and synchronous pumping.
