  • Short-pulse CO2 laser has significant applications in many fields such as laser ranging, environmental detection, space communication and laser interaction with matter. Q-switch techniques are important approach for generating short-pulse CO2 laser and have been extensively studied by researchers. Main Q-switch techniques for CO2 laser are reviewed in this paper, including mechanical Q-switch, electro-optically Q-switch, acousto-optically Q-switch, passively Q-switch and double Q-switch. The key technical points and problems of each Q-switch technique are summarized and analyzed. In addition, the tendencies of Q-switch techniques for CO2 laser are proposed.
