ABSTRACT:
The present application describes a system and method for providing a pulse laser may include a first reflector, a second reflector, a lasing module and a fast optical valve. The first reflector and the second reflector may form an optical cavity. The lasing module may be disposed at least partly in the optical cavity. A fast optical valve may be disposed at least partly within the optical cavity and structured to block and to allow lasing within the optical cavity. The fast optical valve may also be structured to output a laser pulse that has a pulse duration of approximately a round trip time of the optical cavity. By placing at least part of the first reflector or the second reflector on a moving element, the pulse duration of the outputted laser pulse can be manipulated easily.
