Figure 3-3: Temporal Profile of Seeded and Unseeded Pulses
The top left picture is an oscilloscope trace of 200 pulses emitted from an injection-
seeded host laser. The top right picture is a single injection-seeded pulse. The
bottom left picture is a single, unseeded pulse. These temporal profile photos were
taken using a Tektronix 7104 (1GHz) oscilloscope and a Hamamatsu planar
photodiode.
Figure 3-4: Output through an Etalon
The left picture is the output for a seeded laser, while the picture on
the right is for an unseeded laser.
