Abstract
A high-Q, gainless external resonant ring cavity for generating high peak power pulses from semiconductor laser diodes and other low-power, continuous-wave laser sources. The resonant ring cavity stores laser energy from a continuous-wave laser source and periodically dumps the stored laser energy in pulses having peak power levels many times greater than that of the laser source.
