    Abstract: This invention provides a solution for operating a mode-locking and cavity dumping laser apparatus using single electro-optical switch or modulator (2), such as a Pockels cell, without the need of multiplexing between two sources of voltage. The complex waveform of electrical signal, which controls the Pockels Cell (2) is achieved by employing the phenomena, called LC circuit ringing, where LC circuit is formed from an inductive element and a capacitor, where the Pockels Cell works as a capacitor itself. The ringing frequency should be calculated such that the period of oscillations is preferably two times longer than the round-trip time of a light pulse inside the optical cavity. As a result, optical losses are created inside the cavity with a period, which coincides with the travel of a light pulse, thus the pulse build-up is consistent and stable.

    Abstract: A driving circuit 1A is a circuit selectively outputting one of a staircase wave and a square wave from an output terminal 11, to drive a capacitive load 52, and includes a high-voltage power source 41 supplying a constant voltage VH, an FET 21 connected in series between the output terminal 11 and the high-voltage power source 41, a transformer 22 in which an output side coil is connected to a gate of the FET 21, an input terminal 12a connected to an input side coil of the transformer 22 via a capacitive element 23, a high-voltage power source 42 supplying a constant voltage VL lower than the constant voltage VH, an FET 31 connected in series between the output terminal 11 and the high-voltage power source 42, a transformer 32 in which an output side coil is connected to a gate of the FET 31, and an input terminal 12b connected to an input side coil of the transformer 32 via a capacitive element 33. Thereby, the circuit is realized which is capable of suitably providing a stair-shaped high-voltage pulse to the capacitive load.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a laser system in a Q-switched mode, thereby generating a train of at least two subsequent laser pulses (p 1 ). The laser system has a laser resonator (1) with a laser medium (2) and an electro-optical modulator (3). The electro-optical modulator (3) comprises an EOM crystal (9), wherein the EOM crystal (9) has, when subjected to acoustic ringing, a characteristic ringing time (to). The EOM crystal (9) is driven by modulator voltage pulses (p m ) having a modulator voltage pulse duration (t m1 ). The modulator voltage pulse duration (t m1 ) is at least approximately equal to the characteristic ringing time (to) multiplied by an integer factor.
    The rising edge ("on") of the voltage pulse (p m ) generates an acoustic wave and the falling edge ("off") of the voltage pulse generates a counter-propagating acoustic wave. Proper choice of the duration (t ml ) of the voltage pulse, i.e. multiple integer of the reziprocal of the ringing ftrequency (t 0 ), results in destructive interference of the two acoustic waves and vanishing acoustic ringing.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical receiver, in which the transmittance of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer can be locked at a normal operation point in a simple structure and control.
    A transmittance detecting circuit and a minute modulation signal detecting circuit are provided in parallel after a balanced optical receiver, and a switch is selectively connectable either a minute modulation signal detecting circuit and a transmittance detecting circuit. In the initial stage of frequency pull-in, the switch is set to connect the transmittance detecting circuit to the synchronous detection circuit. If the transmittance detecting circuit detects that the transmittance of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer at the carrier frequency becomes a desired transmittance, the connection of the switch is switched from the transmittance detecting circuit to the minute modulation signal detecting circuit.
