A laser-diode-pumped passively Q-switched new type crystal Nd 3+ :NaY(WO4)2 (known as Nd:NYW) laser with GaAs semiconductor saturable absorber has been realized. The dependence of pulse repetition rate, pulse energy, pulse width, and peak power on pump power for di erent output coupler re ectivities
We have demonstrated a passively Q-switched operation of Nd:GdVO4 laser in which a GaAs crystal is used as the saturable absorber for the ÿrst time as far as we know. A maximum average output power of 1:64 W was obtained at an incident pump power of 12 W, the corresponding optical conversion e cienc
