AB - Optical and Quantum Electronics 10 (19 78) 9 Short Communication Short Communication Active and passive mode-locking of long Very long Nd-YAG-laser resonators were first Nd- YA G-laser resonators investigated by Gt~rs [6] (L = 15 m), Klochan etal. [2] (L = 60m), and Linford etal. [3] Mode-locking of pulsed and CW laser systems is a (L = 6.3 x 10 a m). Gt~rs and Linford used linear well-known technique for generating ultrashort resonators, which are not very handy for large light pulses [ 1 ]. The locking can be achieved either values of L. We used a laser-system similar to that by an active modulator (Pockels-cell) or by a of Kornienko [7, 8] and Klochan [2], introducing passive one (non-linear absorber) or by self-locking a folded optical delay line [9, 10] into the reso- [2, 3, 4]. The active mode-locking is synchroniz- nator. The experimental set-up is shown in Fig. 1. able with other systems [5], but needs a high frequency, high voltage power supply for the Pockels-cell. The passive mode-locking is less diffi- cult to realize, but has two disadvantages; it is not synchronizable and the reproducibility is influ- enced by the schlieren of the absorber dye.
