Description
Summary:In this paper the characterization of our newly developed nd:yag laser is reported. A flashlamp was employed as a pumped source. The voltage charger of the capacitor was verified between 200-900 v. The energy of the output laser was measured using powermeter and the beam spot was detected by burn paper. At low pump, the beam was detected using infrared (ir) sensor card. The result obtained showed that the energy of the laser is proportional with the voltage charger. The beam was first detected on ir sensor card at 200 v of pump voltage and on burn paper at 400 v which is corresponding to laser energy of 50 mj. This is identified by first appearance of beam spot. The maximum energy produced by this developed laser was 250 mj
