Key absorption parameters of Cr4+:YAG are calculated based on rate equations. Pulsed Nd:YAG laser is Q-switched using Cr4+:YAG to generate 8 ns laser pulse. CW Nd:YAG laser is also Q-switched using this crystal and both period jitter and amplitude fluctuation of output pulse train are less than 5%.
