Abstract
A quasi-continuous wave laser diode side-pumped passively Q-switched Yb:YAG slab laser with Cr 4+:YAG saturable absorber has been demonstrated in order to understand the pulse properties of Yb:YAG crystal. To our knowledge the maximum 69% extraction efficiency is achieved by the system. 44 μJ pulse energy and 1.64 KW peak power with near diffraction-limited beam quality are presented at 25 Hz repetition rate. The build-up time of the Q-giant in the passively Q-switched laser is shown.
