摘要
With a compact resonator, continous-wave (cw) and Q-switched laser performances of Nd:LuVO4 crystal was investigated. The maximum cw output power was 5.19 W. The shortest Pulse width, largest pulse repetition rate, and largest pulse energy were measured to be 3.3 ns, 24.8 kHz, and 92.8 mu J, respectively, by using Cr4+:YAG crystals as the saturable absorbers. To our knowledge, this is the shortest passively Q-switched pulse width with Nd:LuVO4 as the laser crystal. From the satellite pulse, the lifetime of the lower laser energy level of Nd:LuVO4 was determined to be about 20 ns.
