Abstract

The experiment result of Nd:YVO~4~ laser pumped by laser diode that was amplified by double‐cladding Yb^3+^ fiber is reported. Stable mode‐locking pulses are obtained at repetition rate of 320 MHz and the output power is 15 mW. When laser power is amplified by Yb^3+^‐doped double‐cladding fiber amplifier, its power can get to 600 mW. Based on these, experiment of double‐frequency is carried out, and green laser with power of 4 mW is obtained. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
