Abstract
We have demonstrated an electro-optically cavity-dumped mode-locked (CDML) picosecond Nd:YVO4 laser at 1342nm with 880nm diode-laser direct pumping. At a repetition rate of 10kHz, an average output power of 0.119W was achieved, corresponding to a pulse energy of 11.9μJ. Compared with the continuous wave mode-locking pulse energy of 17.5nJ, the CDML pulse energy was 680 times higher. The pulse width was measured to be 33.4ps, resulting in the peak power of 356kW. Meanwhile, the beam quality was nearly diffraction limited with an average beam quality factor M2 of 1.29.
