Abstract
This paper presents a continuous wave and a -switched Nd:YAG laser pumped by diode laser at 885 nm. The maximum output power of the CW laser is 8.28 W with an absorbed slope efficiency of 35.01%. The -switching is achieved using a crystal as the saturable absorber. The maximum output power of the passively -switched laser is 3.55 W with an absorbed pumping power of 28.65 W operated with a dual wavelength at 1319 and 1338 nm. The shortest pulse widths of the -switched laser are 20.20 and 20.86 ns, with a maximum repetition rate of 64.10 kHz.
