A single pulse was selected from the train of mode-locked pulses of a Nd-glass laser using optics external to the oscillator cavity. Its pulse width was measured by the two-photon fluorescence technique to be 10 to 15 psec with and without amplification. From energy measurements, the amplified single-pulse power was determined to be typically 30 GW.
