Abstract

This paper describes a highly efficient and compact Nd:YVO4 laser. In CW operation, a single-mode output of 95 mW and a multimode output of 435 mW were obtained with a 1W laser-diode pump. Using a KTP crystal in the laser cavity, 105 mW of green light was generated. A Q-switched pulse with a peak power of 230 W and pulse width of 8 ns was obtained with the intracavity KTP crystal used as both the Q-switch and the frequency doubler.
