Modelling Subnanosecond Pulse Generation by a Two-Section Laser-Thyristor

We have developed a theoretical model of lasing dynamics in a two-sectional laser-thyristor. We have demonstrated that it is possible to create short (~2 ns) highcurrent pulses in a laser-thyristor. Our calculations imply that incorporating an unpumped section into the laser resonator allows to generate subnanosecond (~30 ps full width at half maximum) high-power (~100 W peak power) laser pulses.
