We demonstrate a diode-pumped passively Q-switched and mode-locking intracavity frequency-doubled Nd:GdVO~4~/KTP green laser with a Cr^4+^:YAG saturable absorber. Nearly 95% modulation depth for the mode-locked pulses inside the Q-switched envelope has been obtained. The Q-switched envelope pulses w

โฆ Synopsis
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 mW, repetition rate of 40 kHz, and pulse width of 40 ns, when the initial transmission of Cr 4+ :YAG was 85%. The shortest pulse width of 30 ns, the highest green peak power of 696 W and the maximum pulse energy of 21 J were obtained when the initial transmission of Cr 4+ :YAG was 70%. Under CW green operation, we obtained 440 mW output power.
