    A low-repetition-rate pulsed LD-pumped cavity-dumped solid-state lasers are designed, in order to minimize the influence of losses, two thin film polarizer are used in the cavity, so that the higher reflectivity of vertical vibration of linearly polarized light is retained in the cavity. Based on this device, The influence of the longer fall time of Pockels cell driving power influence on solid-state cavity-dumped lasers has been studied experimentally. The results show that when the fall time of Pockels cell driving power is longer than a round-trip time in the cavity, some significant changes will occur in the output characteristics of the laser, with the increase of current intensity, the pulse width will increase, and the pulse energy increases first and then decreases; with the increase of the gating time of Pockels cell power, some similar changes will occur on the pulse width and the pulse energy.
