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

β¦ Synopsis
Passive Q-switching of a laser-diode-pumped intracavity-frequency-doubling Nd:NYW/KTP laser has been realized with GaAs semiconductor saturable absorber. The dependence of pulse repetition rate, pulse energy, and pulse width on incident pump power are measured. The coupled rate equations are used to simulate the Q-switched process of laser, and the numerical solutions agree with the experimental results.

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 ΓΏrst 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
