Abstract: An experimental investigation was made of the attainment of highly reproducible single-frequency emission from a pulsed laser based on a Sagnac interferometer. The probability of single-frequency emission was found to be related to the position of a passive switch relative to the optical centre of the interferometer. A qualitative theoretical analysis showed that the observed effect can be due to the scattering of waves on a grating induced in the switch. Experiments indicated that the probability of single-frequency emission was 99.99%.
