Abstract
In this paper, we demonstrate for the first time a doubly Q-switched pulsed laser, using a novel Nd:Gd0.69Y0.3NbO4 mixed crystal and acousto-optical (AO) Q-switch and Cr4+:YAG saturable absorber. Compared to purely AO Q-switched lasers, the simultaneous use of AO Q-switches and Cr4+:YAG saturable absorbers provides the generation of a shorter pulse. We investigated in detail the output characteristics of pulsed Nd:Gd0.69Y0.3NbO4 lasers.
