Method for manufacturing a solid state laser having a passive Q-switch

摘要

A method for manufacturing a laser-active solid having a bonded passive Q-switch is provided. A plane-parallel first wafer plate may be manufactured from a laser-active material. A second plane-parallel wafer plate may be manufactured from a material that is suitable as a passive Q-switch. The first wafer plate and the second wafer plate may be bonded to form a wafer block, which may then be coated on both end faces with a resonator mirror. Subsequently, the wafer block may be separated into multiple passively Q-switched solid state lasers.
