Pulse duration and jitter describe different things
These models produce short nanosecond pulses. A 1.3 ns pulse is not sub-nanosecond, even when its timing jitter is below 0.2 ns. The pulse duration describes the light pulse itself; jitter describes how much its arrival time varies relative to a trigger.
Synchronize with your measurement
Consider the range for laser ranging and lidar, triggered Raman measurements, or LIBS and laser-ablation experiments. Match the wavelength and energy to the sample, then specify the detector gate, repetition rate, trigger format and permitted timing variation.
For 532 and 1064 nm, standard external-trigger jitter is specified below 2 ns, with a below-0.2 ns option. The UV datasheet specifies the below-0.2 ns option; it does not state a standard jitter limit.

532 and 1064 nm configurations
Each row is a separate configuration of the named model. The highest energy, highest frequency and shortest pulse do not describe one simultaneous operating point. Higher repetition rates can reduce pulse energy and lengthen the pulse.
