Self-Raman frequency conversion in a diode-pumped passively Q-switched Nd:GdVO 4 laser has been demonstrated. The use of LiF:F - 2 crystal as a saturable absorber has provided effective Q-switching of the Nd:GdVO 4 laser with high pulse energy. The laser pulse duration at the 1 st Stokes wavelength

We report for the first time a Nd:GdVO 4 laser operating in a continuous wave (CW) on the quasi-three-level laser at 893 nm, based on the 4 F 3/2 -4 I 9/2 transition, generally used for a 912 nm emission. The use of a pump module with 16 passes through the crystal allowed the realization of a Nd:GdV
A diode-pumped actively Q-switched and modelocked Nd:GdVO4 laser with great average output power and high efficiency was realized by using a comparative simple configuration and a short cavity length. The laser generates stable mode-locked pulses of estimated width 240 ps lying underneath a Q-switch
