Abstract
We report the operation of an in-line resonator using self-pumped phase conjugation in at in the nanosecond regime. The output beam has a high-quality diffraction-limited mode and a pulse shape of , showing the self--switching ability of the resonator. A maximum extraction of and a maximum reflectivity of 2.0 are measured. A transient model provides insight into the energy characteristics and the dynamics of such an in-line resonator.
