摘要：

By using a simple linear configuration a stable and efficient YVO4-Nd YVO4 laser actively Q-switched by an acousto-optic modulator and passively mode-locked by KLM is realized from which the great average output power the high efficiency are obtained and the mode-locked pulse inside the Q-switched pulse has a repetition rate of 470 MHz The nearly 100% modulation depth of the Q switched mode-locked pulses can be obtained at any pump power over the threshold Considering the Kerr-lens effect of laser medium and Q-switching by an acousto-optic modulator we have analyzed the self-mode locked YVO4-Nd YVO4 laser by using the nonlinear ABCD propagation matrix and the hyperbolic fluctuation mechanism The numerical solutions are in good agreement with the experimental results (C) 2010 Elsevier BV All rights reserved
