A mode-locked laser is capable of emitting extremely short pulses on the order of tens of picoseconds down to less than 10 femtoseconds. These pulses will repeat at the round trip time, that is, the time that it takes light to complete one round trip between the mirrors comprising the resonator.
The Nd:YAG laser is a solid state laser that uses a neodymium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet crystal as the lasing medium. It is optically pumped with a lamp or diode and most commonly emits infrared light at 1064nm. It can be used in either a pulsed or continuous mode.
