An electro-optic modulator is used to switch between high and low gain states by making use of the polarization dependent gain of Alexandrite. In gain-coefficient switched mode, the laser produces 85 ns pulses with a pulse energy of 240 mJ at a repetition rate of 5 Hz.}, year = {2013}, journal = {Journal of Physics D-Applied Physics}, volume = {46}, number = {1}, pages = {015103}, month = {Jan}, isbn = {0022-3727}, url = {http://arxiv.org/abs/1209.2260}, doi = {10.1088/0022-3727/46/1/015103}, language = {English}, }
