Abstract
A diode-pumped acousto-optically Q-switched intracavity frequency-doubled N d:GdVO4/KTP green laser formed with a flat-flat resonator was demonstrated. 3.05 W of average green output power at pulse repetition frequency (PRF) o f 40 kHz was obtained with an optical conversion efficiency of 18.4%, the e ffective intracavity frequency-doubling efficiency was 57%. At the incident pump power of 15 W, the shortest laser pulse occurred at PRF of 25 kHz wit h FWHM width of 14 ns, yielding the highest peak power of 7.44 kW; while th e largest pulse energy of 0.14 mJ was achieved at PRF of 15 kHz.
