✦ Synopsis

A diode-pumped acousto-optically Q-switched intracavity frequency-doubled Nd : GdVO4=KTP green laser formed with a at-at resonator was demonstrated. 3:05 W of average green output power at pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of 40 kHz was obtained with an optical conversion e ciency of 18.4%, the e ective intracavity frequency-doubling e ciency was 57%. At the incident pump power of 15 W, the shortest laser pulse occurred at PRF of 25 kHz with FWHM width of 14 ns, yielding the highest peak power of 7:44 kW; while the largest pulse energy of 0:14 mJ was achieved at PRF of 15 kHz.
