A compact diode-pumped passively Q-switched intracavity frequency-doubled Nd:GdVO4=KTP green-pulse laser was demonstrated, using Cr 4+ :YAG as a saturable absorber in a simple at-at cavity. With a 5:9 W incident pump power, a passively Q-switched green laser was obtained with an average power of 397

โฆ Synopsis
A continuous-wave (CW) laser-diode (LD) pumped passively Q-switched intra-cavity frequency-doubling green laser is reported in this paper. We used 3% at Nd doped YVO4 as gain medium, Cr 4+ : YAG as a saturable absorber for passively Q-switch and periodically poled LiNbO3 (PPLN) as a frequency doubler. The output energy of the green laser is 1:96 J with the pulse-width of 15:6 ns. No green-noise problem exists in the green laser. Some theoretical results on the passive Q-switching and intra-cavity frequency-doubling are also discussed.
