The continuous-wave (cw) laser properties of an efficient diode-pumped Nd:GdVO~4~ crystal operating at 1.06 μm formed with a simple flat-flat cavity have been studied. With the incident pump power of 25 W, an output power of 15.6 W was obtained, with the optical conversion efficiency of 62.4% and th

The laser performance of a N d : K G W rod has been studied in a single flashlamp cavity in the free running as well as in the Q-switched mode of operation at input energies ranging from 1-25 J. The results of N d : K G W have been compared with Nd: YAG operated under identical experimental conditio
Diode-pumped acoustic-optical (AO) Q-switched, passively Q-switched, and double Q-switched Nd:KGW lasers were realized, respectively. Their pulse characteristics were researched. Experiments prove double Q-switching laser can generate a symmetric and shorter pulse when compared with purely AO and pa
We have studied the laser performance of Nd : KGW and Nd : YAG rods by monitoring the 1.06 pm laser emission at 78.5 K and 300 K. Our observations indicate that the laser efficiency from Nd : KGW is much higher than from Nd : YAG at these two temperatures. The laser threshold in Nd: KGW is lower at
