   The pulsed generation of the diode-pumped solid-state neodymium calcium—gallium—germaniun garnet (Ca₃Ga₂Ge₃O₁₂: Nd³⁺) laser with diode pumping has been investigated. Pulse frequency was varied from 3 to 13 kHz according to the variation of the absorbed pump power from 0.45 to 1 W. It was found, that pulse jitter of the laser depends on F as 1/F^g, where g = 1.3. The sensitivity coefficients of the pulse duration and frequency to the variation of resonator length has been determined.
