✦ Synopsis

We reported a continuous-wave (CW) passively mode-locked Nd:Lu0.5Y0.5VO4 laser at 1064 nm. A partially reflective semiconductor saturable absorber mirror was exploited in the Z-typed resonator. The Nd:Lu 0.5 Y 0.5 VO 4 laser generated CW mode-locked pulses with an average output power of 860 mW, a repetition rate of 53.7 MHz, and a pulse duration of 8.7 ps. Average output power, W 0.8 1.0 0.4 0.6 0 0.2 8 6 4 2 0 Incident pump power, W QS-ML CW-ML

The average output power versus the incident pump power. QS-ML denotes Q-switched mode-locking and CW-ML denotes continuous wave mode-locking
