Compact low-voltage waveplate-free burst-mode EO Q-switched Nd:YAG laser based on a thermally self-biased PIN-PMN-32PT crystal

We demonstrate a compact burst-mode electro-optically Q-switched Nd:YAG laser using a thermally self-biased PIN-PMN-32PT relaxor ferroelectric crystal. The crystal exhibited a half-wave voltage of 490 V under transverse EO modulation, which is substantially lower than that of con...
