Abstract

Abstract

A high power LD pumped acousto-optic Q-switched Nd:YVO4 laser is reported. Short pulse of 1 064nmis obtained. Output energy, pulse width and average output power are measured with different conditions such as different output coupling mirrors and repetition rates. When repetition pulse is 50kHz, the maximum average output power of 5.72W is obtained with an optical conversion efficiency of 28% and a slope efficiency of 32.4%.As repetition is 10kHz and pulse width is 22ns, the maximum single pulse energy of 0.286mJ and peak power of 13kW are acquired.
