Abstract

A doubly Q-switched 1.06 μm pulsed laser using a novel tape casting YAG/Nd:YAG/YAG composite ceramic with a sandwich structure was demonstrated for the first time. Compared to purely acousto-optical (AO) Q-switching, this laser using an AO Q-switch and Cr4+:YAG saturable absorber simultaneously can generate shorter pulses. The pulsed laser performance was investigated at two modulated repetition rates of 10 and 20 kHz.
