摘要
By simultaneously using both an acoustic-optic (AO) modulator and a V3+:YAG saturable absorber in the cavity, for the first time to our knowledge, a diode-pumped doubly Q-switched Nd:GdVO (4) laser has been realized. The dependence of pulse width, pulse energy and peak power on the incident pump power at determinate pulse repetition rate are measured. Under the absorbed pump power of 8.59 W, the pulse temporal profile of the AO-switching with the pulse duration of 14.5 ns, the double Q-switching with pulse duration of 7.6 ns at 10 kHz, and the passive Q-switching with pulse duration of 22.3 ns are obtained. The pulse duration is obviously compressed in contrast to the purely actively AO Q-switched laser or the purely passively Q-switched laser with V3+:YAG.
