Study of a Diode-Pumped Nd:YVO4 Laser Passively Q Switched with GaAs
A passively Q switched laser diode end pumped Nd∶YVO 4 laser is demonstrated in which a GaAs film is used as the saturable absorber. The pulse width, pulse energy and pulse repetition rate of different output coupler are measured. At 4 W pumping power, stable laser pulse as short as 30 ns with 8 μJ energy and 60 kHz pulse repetition rate can be generated with this laser. Meanwhile, the Q switching dynamics is theoretically studied based on the rate equations. Some phenomena generated in the laser are analyzed.
