    • Laser excitation is generally initiated by "dumping" energy from a stored supply into a flashlamp. The flashlamp produces light which is a mixture of both black-body type radiation and atomic line spectra. That portion of the flashlamp output energy spectrum which overlaps the pump bands of Nd.sup.3.sup.+ causes the inversion population necessary for laser action. It has been determined that the sequence in which energy is initially supplied to the flashlamp is an important parameter. More particularly, light output in the pump bands, and hence laser efficiency, is increased by slightly turning on the flashlamp at a predetermined interval of time prior to the main energy dump. Theory indicates that this method of triggering results in a larger ionic path diameter at the time of main energy release to the flashlamp.
    • 激光激发通常是通过将能量从存储的电源“倾倒”到闪光灯中开始的。 闪光灯产生的是黑体型辐射和原子线谱的混合物。 与Nd3 +的泵浦波段重叠的闪光灯输出能谱的那部分导致激光作用所需的反演群。 已经确定,最初向闪光灯提供能量的顺序是重要的参数。 更具体地,通过在主能量转储之前以预定的时间间隔稍微打开闪光灯来增加泵浦带中的光输出,从而提高激光器效率。 理论表明,这种触发方法在主能量释放到闪光灯时导致更大的离子路径直径。
