Abstract
We report on the active Q-switching laser performance of Yb:GdCa4O(BO3)3 crystal, demonstrated by employing an acousto-optic Q-switch in a compact plano-concave resonator. Stable repetitively Q-switched operation is achieved with pulse repetition rates varying from 30 to 0.2kHz, producing an average output power of 10.2W at 1027.5nm at 30kHz of repetition rate, with an optical-to-optical efficiency of 30%. The maximum pulse energy generated at the lowest repetition rate of 0.2kHz is 4.75mJ, with a pulse width being 11ns, gives rise to a peak power that amounts to 432kW.
