Abstract

A laser system (20) controlling laser pulse energy by feedback to the laser Q-switch (34) is disclosed. A feedback signal (40) is used to control the time duration of the high loss state of the Q-switch for automatically adjusting the output pulse energy to substantially equal an energy setpoint (84).
