摘要：
A diode-pumped actively Q-switched and mode-locked Nd:GdVO4 laser with great average output power and high efficiency was realized by using a comparative simple configuaration and a short cavity length. The laser generates stable mode-locked pulses of estimated width 240 ps lying underneath a Q-switched envelope of width 170 ns with a Q-switch modulation frequency of 10 kHz. the modulation depth was more than 90% and the mode-locked pulse inside the Q-switched pulse has a repetition rate of 390 MHz.
