Abstract

High power passive Q-switching was achieved with a pulse width of 18–32 ns by using a diode-side-pumped Nd:Gd0.6Y0.4VO4 bounce amplifier. An average output power of > 8 W was obtained at a pump power of 39 W. The peak power of the Q-switched output was adjusted within 1.9–5.2 kW by changing the Nd concentration. The mixed vanadates showed significantly higher Q-switching performances in comparison with pure Nd:GdVO4.
