A frequency stabilization scheme following the Pound-Drever-Hall technique modified with a sample and hold circuit has been applied to a Q-switched diode-pumped Nd:YAG ring oscillator. The high-power ring is injection seeded by a monolithic non-planar ring laser oscillator (NPRO). The slave oscillator emits pulses of 23 ns duration and 20 mJ pulse energy with almost diffraction limited beam quality (M-2 = 1.2) at a repetition rate of 400 Hz. The short-term fluctuation of the center frequency from pulse to pulse is 290 kHz. The oscillator is designed for applications within lidar measurements.
