Up to 1 MHz acousto-optics Q-switching operation was obtained in a grazing-incidence Nd:YVO~4~ laser. At 500 kHz repetition rate, 17.7 W of output power was obtained with 38 W of pump power when 32.4% transmissivity output coupler was used. The beam quality factors were measured as __M__ ^2^ ~x~ < 4
In this article, we demonstrated the acousto-optical Qswitching performance of a high-power diode-pumped Nd:GGG laser. The maximum average output power of 2.56 W was obtained at the repetition rate of 15 kHz, and the minimum pulse width of 21 ns was obtained under the pump power of 9.18 W, the peak
A diode-end-pumped AO Q-switched YVO 4 / Nd:YVO4 composite crystal laser is demonstrated in this paper. With a comparative simple cavity, the laser can generate short pulse duration and high peak power by optimum design. The shortest pulse width of 9.5 ns and the maximum average output power of 10.1
