摘要：

A compact diode-pumped passively Q-switched Nd:S-VAP laser has been demonstrated with Cr4+:YAG crystal as the saturable absorber. When CW pumped with a 1 W high-brightness laser diode, stable laser pulses of duration of 2.9 ns and energy of 13.7 mu J are observed with kilohertz repetition rates. The highest peak power of 4.6 kW was obtained at a incident pump power of 904 mW. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
