Abstract
The authors report the passive Q switching of a diode pumped Yb:GdAl3(BO3)4 (Yb:GAB) laser. The slopes of the average output power are 25% and 39.5% under different experimental conditions. The repetition rates occur in the 1–4.5kHz range and pulse energies of 125 and 165μJ with about 30ns duration are obtained. An experimental comparison with passively Q-switched Nd:GAB laser is provided. A theoretical analysis is performed. It is in reasonable agreement with the experimental data and it is shown to be a useful tool for predicting the optimization of the cavity parameters.
