摘要
A diode-pumped acively Q-switched Nd:YdVO(4) green laser with periodically poled KTP (PPKTP) has been realized. The dependences of pulse width, pulse energy and peak power on incident pump power are measured for the generated-green-light pulses. A rate equation model is introduced to theoretically analyze the results obtained in the experiment, in which the spatial distributions of the intracavity photon density, the pump beam and the population-inversion density are taken into account. These rate equations are solved numerically and the theoretical calculations are in agreement with the experimental results.
