We report on the passively Q-switched mode-locking of a quasi-cw (QCW) diode pumped Nd:GdVO 4 laser with Cr 4+ :YAG saturable absorber. We show that by using the QCW pumping high quality Q-switched mode-locking can be easily obtained in the laser even with a simple two-mirror laser cavity configurat

โฆ Synopsis
A diode-pumped Nd:GdVO 4 laser mode-locked by a semiconductor saturable absorber and output coupler (SESAOC) is passively stabilized to suppress Q-switched mode-locking. A phase mismatched BIBO second-harmonic generation (SHG) crystal is used for passive stabilization. The continuous wave mode-locking (CWML) threshold is reduced and the pulse width is compressed. The pulse width is 6.5 ps as measured at the repetition rate of 128 MHz.

By using LT-GaAs as saturable absorber, we have demonstrated the stable Q-switched and mode-locked (QML) Nd:LuVO 4 laser run in a Z-type folded cavity. Nearly 100% modulation depth of mode locking can be obtained as long as the pump power reaches the oscillation threshold. The repetition rate of the
We demonstrate a diode-pumped passively Q-switched and mode-locking intracavity frequency-doubled Nd:GdVO~4~/KTP green laser with a Cr^4+^:YAG saturable absorber.
