โฆ Synopsis
A LD-pumped, LBO intracavity frequency doubled and Cr:YAG passively Q-switched Nd:YAG green laser was reported in this letter. With 600 mW incident pump laser, Q-switched green laser with average power of 27 mW, pulse width of 15:2 ns, repetition rate of 16:4 kHz and peak power of 108:1 W was obtained. ?

A compact diode-pumped passively Q-switched intracavity frequency-doubled Nd:GdVO4=KTP green-pulse laser was demonstrated, using Cr 4+ :YAG as a saturable absorber in a simple at-at cavity. With a 5:9 W incident pump power, a passively Q-switched green laser was obtained with an average power of 397
This work describes the experimental results obtained on the Cr4+: YAG crystal used as a passive Q-switch in Nd:YAG lasers. In addition, the combination of a Cr 4+ : YAG passive Q-switch with an acousto-optical Q-switch operating simultaneously in one cavity was investigated. More than 180 W averag
