摘要

We present a design for a compact laser-diode-end-pumped Nd:YAP/Cr:YAG q-switched laser in a plano-concave cavity configuration. With an optical-to-optical efficiency of 35%, this laser provides an average output of 1.2 W with 13 mJ at 1080 nm. After that, the laser is frequency doubled by replacing the output coupler with a flat KTP crystal to achieve an output of 8 mJ in 8 ns at 540 nm. At a peak power of 1 MW, the laser emits linearly polarized output with an average power of 800 mW. The calculated M-2 value is 1.3, the output is very stable, and the laser operates in the TEM00 mode.
