Abstract
A laser diode directly end-pumped, passively Q-switched Nd : YVO4/Cr : YAG laser is presented in this paper. With 600 mW incident pump laser, Q-switch ed 1064 nm laser with an average power of 138 mW, pulse width of 19.8 ns, r epetition rate of 170.1 kHz and peak power of 40.96 W is obtained. When a K TP crystal was inserted into the cavity, Q-switched 532 nm laser with an av erage power of 56 mW, pulse width of 28.4 ns, repetition rate of 118.2 kHz and peak power of 16.7 W is obtained at last.
