Abstract
We demonstrate a diode-pumped passively Q-switched Nd:GdYAG mixed garnet laser at 1,123 nm. A Cr4+:YAG crystal with an initial transmission of 97% is used as the saturable absorber. The maximum average output power is 1.05 W at an absorbed pumping power of 8.12 W. A single-pulse energy can reach up to 78.9 μJ, with a corresponding pulse repetition rate of 13.3 kHz.
