✦ Synopsis

We demonstrated a diode end-pumped continuouswave (CW) and passively Q-switched (PQS) dual-wavelength laser at about 0.93 μm with Nd:(Lu x Gd 1-x ) 3 Ga 5 O 12 (Nd:LGGG) crystal for the first time. The maximum CW output power of 244 mW was obtained with the optical-optical conversion efficiency of 6.2% and the slope efficiency of 8.1%, respectively. The PQS performance was obtained with V 3+ :YAG crystal as the saturable absorber. The shortest pulse width was achieved to be 259 ns with the pulse repetition rate of 130 kHz. The laser spectrum was found to be dual-wavelength with respective wavelength of 933.0 and 936.8 nm for both CW and passive Q-switching regime.

Laser characteristics of a novel mixed laser crystal Nd:Lu0.15Y0.85VO4 was investigated. It is attractive for Qswitching with high repetition rate and short pulse width due to its suitable stimulated emission cross-section and short upper level lifetime. Continuous wave (CW) output power of 8.18 W w

Passive Q-switched and mode-locked operation of a 2.7-m fluorozirconate fiber laser is reported. Both mode-locking and Q-switching were attained by means of InAs epilayers used as saturable absorbers. Another technique used was the so-called flying-mirror mode-locking, whereby an external resonator
