Abstract
To analyze the saturating process of $Cr^{4+}:YAG$ crystal and plastic organic dye as the saturable absorber, we have measured the residual optical losses between a free running and a passive Q-switching mode for various optical densities. The undepleted ground state population density and the saturated transmission of the saturable absorber have been evaluated by the additional optical losses with the increased threshold pump energies between two resonators. ill the passive Q-switching mode, the saturable transmission of saturable absorber is less than the maxrnium saturable transmission due to the undepleted ground state population density. nsity.
포화흡수체$Cr^{4+}:YAG$와 유기염료 박막을 사용한 $1.06{\mu}m$ Nd:YAG 공진기에서 수동 큐스위칭 동작시 나타나는 포화흡수체의 포화특성을 분석하였다. 정상모드와 수동 큐스위칭 레이저의 문턱에너지 차이로 광손실을 측정하여 큐스위칭 동작에서 나타나는 포화흡수체의 포화투과도와 불포화 기저상태 밀도수를 분석하였다.
