β¦ Synopsis
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 configuration. Mode locked pulses with pulse width of about 1 ps at repetition rate variable from 500 MHz to 1 GHz has been obtained.

The realization of high repetition rate passively Q-switched monolithic microlaser is a challenge since a decade. To achieve this goal, we report here on the first passively Q-switched diode-pumped microchip laser based on the association of a Nd:GdVO 4 crystal and a Cr 4+ :YAG saturable absorber. T
By considering the Gaussian spatial distributions of the intracavity photon density and the initial populationinversion density, the coupled rate equations for a diode-pumped passively Q-switched and mode-locked (QML) laser with Cr 4+ :YAG saturable absorber are given. These coupled rate equations a
A laser-diode pumped passively Q-switched new type crystal Nd 3+ :NaY(WO 4 ) 2 (known as Nd:NYW) laser with Cr 4+ :YAG saturable absorber has been realized. The dependence of pulse repetition rate, pulse energy, pulse width, and peak power on pump power for different small-signal transmission of Cr
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. Nearly 95% modulation depth for the mode-locked pulses inside the Q-switched envelope has been obtained. The Q-switched envelope pulses w
