Abstract

We report continuous-wave (CW) and actively Q-switched laser performance achieved with an uncoated mixed laser crystal Nd:Lu0.99La0.01VO4 at 1065.655nm end-pumped by a laser-diode-array. The maximum CW output power of 6.26W was obtained with the optical conversion efficiency of 31.3%. For the Q-switching operation, a maximum average output power of 6.06W was obtained at the pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of 90kHz, yielding an optical conversion efficiency of 30.3%. The highest pulse energy and highest peak power obtained were 954μJ and 63.8kW at the PRF of 5kHz, respectively.
