Solid-state Q-switch laser generating pulsed Bessel beam

The laser diode pumped Nd:YVO4 laser was used as light source, Bessel beam was generated by passively passing through axicon. The pulsed Bessel beam was generated by putting the Cr4+:YAG in the laser resonator. The propagation and cross-section distribution of 1 064 nm Bessel beam were simulated. In experiment, the pulse width and pulse repetition rate of 1 064 nm pulse Bessel beam were obtained, the energy and the peak power of pulsed Bessel beam were calculated. The cross-section intensity distribution of Bessel beam was recorded by the laser beam analysis and the diameter of centre spot was measured. The experimental results agrees well with the simulation.
