Abstract: A comparative experimental investigation was made of two compact YAlO₃:Nd³⁺ and YAG:Nd³⁺ optical oscillators with a GeC₄ stimulated Brillouin scattering (STBS) mirror utilizing the self-injection-locked laser concept. The pulse energy of this type of single-mode YAlO₃:Nd³⁺ laser was ~ 75 mJ at pulse repetition frequenices of up to 10 Hz. A description is given of a YAlO₃:Nd³⁺ laser system with STBS mirrors, emitting a train of short (t_p ≈ 1.5 ns) pulses with an energy of 0.5 J.
