β¦ Synopsis
Effective CW and A-O Q-switched laser operations were demonstrated firstly using a continuous-grown GdVO 4 /Nd:GdVO 4 composite rod. A maximum CW output power of 19.2 W was obtained with the slope efficiency of 79.6% and the maximum optical-optical efficiency of 73.0% to absorbed pump power. In A-O Q-switched operation, the pulse width of 15.0 ns, 10.6 ns, and 6.9 ns, the peak power of about 11.3 kW, 29.6 kW, and 130.4 kW were achieved at the repetition rate of 100 kHz, 50 kHz, and 10 kHz, respectively.

A 879 nm diode-laser end-pumped diffusion-bonding composite YVO4/Nd:GdVO4 crystal was firstly demonstrated at the emission of 1063 nm. Simulation results showed the temperature and stress intensity were lower in YVO4/Nd:GdVO4 crystal. A maximum continuous wave (CW) output power of 14.8 W was obtaine
We obtain continuous wave mode-locked Nd:GdVO 4 -KTP laser with a SESAM. This is the first report of CW modelocked Nd:GdVO 4 -KTP laser with a SESAM to our knowledge. 396 mw CW mode-locked pulse is achieved at the incident power of 7.653 W, with the repetition about 95 MHz. The pulse duration is ass
