Abstract
By using a mirror whose reflectivity is dependent on wavelength as the output coupler of a Cr4+:YAG tunable laser pumped by 1.06 micrometers Q-switched pulses, the dependence of the Cr(superscript 4+$:YAG laser pulse characteristics on wavelength is greatly weakened and the whole efficiency of the laser is greatly enhanced.
