The selection of a single mode-locked pulse from a Q-switched Nd+3-doped glass laser is described. Mode-locking is achieved by self-mode-locking the laser using a bleachable dye Q switch. Selection of a single pulse is achieved by means of a modification of the pulse transmission mode described by Vuylsteke.
