Double-pulse characteristics of a single-oscillator Nd:YAG laser affecting its performance in TV holography.

The relevance of several double-pulse laser parameters for the fringe quality in TV holography is emphasized theoretically. It is demonstrated that single-oscillator Nd:YAG lasers can show significantly reduced characteristics in double-pulse operation, limiting the performance of these lasers in double-pulse TV holography.
