Abstract

Power scaling of end-pumped Nd:GdVO4 laser was realized by direct pumping, grown-together composite crystal and dual-end-pumping. A maximum CW output power of 46.0W with M2<1.1 was achieved, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 71.1 % to absorbed pump power. In A-O Q-switch operation, peak power of 304.1kW, 58.6kW and 23.8kW, pulse width of 7.2ns, 11.3ns and 16.2ns were obtained at the repetition rates of 10kHz, 50kHz and 100kHz, respectively.
