摘要
With a 10-W diode laser to pump Nd:GdVO4 crystal in a folded cavity, we demonstrated Cr4+:YAG passively Q-switched Nd:GdVO4 lasers at 1.06 mu m. The maximum average output power of 2.1 W and the highest peak power of 625 W were, respectively, obtained when the initial transmissions of the Cr4+:YAG crystals were 90% and 80%.
