Abstract:
A configuration of a pair of crystalline quartz wedges used as polarizers is combined with an electro optic switch to constitute a laser Q-switch. The two wedges are identical and are positioned on either side of the switch and oriented such that one compensates the angular deviation and dispersion of the other.
