CW and Q-switched laser output of LD-end-pumped 1.06mum c-cut Nd:LuVO(4)laser.
The continuous-wave (cw) and pulsed laser performances of laser-diode (LD)-end-pumped c-cut Nd:LuVO(4) at 1.06 mum were achieved for the first time. Maximum cw output of 2.35W was obtained. Compared with the cw laser output of a-cut Nd:LuVO(4) crystal, the efficient emission cross-section of the c-cut crystal has been calculated to be 3.24x10(-19)cm(2). The largest pulse repetition rate, shortest pulse width, largest pulse energy and highest peak power were measured to be 20 kHz, 12 ns, 84.93 muJ and 7.02 kW, respectively, by using Cr(4+):YAG crystals as the saturable absorbers in the passive pulsed laser output experiments.
