Popis: Beam quality M2=1.05 and high temporal stability were obtained in end-pumped MOPA Nd:YAG Q-switched laser. Injection seeding in Master Oscillator was applied in order to obtain smooth pulse shape and reduce build-up time instability. High small-signal gain in end-pumped amplifier provided extraction efficiency ~50% in single-pass scheme. Equalization of absorbed pumping along the laser rods provided decreasing of thermal distortions.
