Abstrakt: Flash-lamp-pumped laser operation of Nd^3+:Y_2SiO_5 by use of the Nd^3+ 4F_3/2−^4F_11/2 transition at 1.074 μm is obtained and compared with that from an identically pumped standard-doped Nd^3+:YAG rod. Higher free-laser performance in Nd^3+:Y_2SiO_5 is attributed to its higher doping. Approximately 2.5 times more energy in Q-switched pulses is generated in the Nd^3+:Y_2SiO_5 rod than in the prelase-limited Nd:YAG rod.
