Laser physics

the tendency of a passively mode-locked laser to break into Q-switched pulse bursts unless pulse energy exceeds a critical value.

In laser physics, Q-switching instability refers to the tendency of a passively mode-locked laser to break into Q-switched pulse bursts unless pulse energy exceeds a critical value. This meaning comes from Hönninger (1999) in Journal of the Optical Society of America B.[1]
