Abstract: An investigation was made of a laser containing a gadolinium scandium gallium garnet crystal (GSGG:Cr³⁺:Nd³⁺) which was operated in the regime of passive mode locking. The duration of the output pulses was ~18 psec. The absolute efficiency was approximately 2.5 times higher than that of a YAG:Nd³⁺ crystal laser operated under similar conditions.
