* Beam divergence full angle, 1/2 energy in 24-inch cavity at specified output energy.
Jitter (uncertainty in appearance of giant pulse relative to HV pulse to pockels cell) = ±7 nsec.
Typical reproducibility in energy in the giant pulst is ±5% with Nd:Glass, up to 2 ppm, tested on a 5 shot series.

** At specified peak power, actual width of pulse obtained is reproducible to ±1 nsec. for any 5 shot series.
