Abstract

The conditions of the generation of radiation with ordered temporal structure are determined for a solid-state laser with external negative feedback. Experiments are performed based on the Nd:YLF laser longitudinally pumped by a high-power diode array. Lasing was controlled using an intracavity electro-optic modulator based on a lithium tantalate crystal. Intensity smoothing and self-mode-locking regimes with generation of several short pulses in the axial interval are implemented by varying the delay in the feedback circuit. Under conditions of amplification above the stability boundary, the secondary electro-optic effect manifestation was detected in the lithium tantalate crystal.
